‘Flamin’ Hot’ Doritos and Cheetos seasoning sparks workplace safety complaint in Australia | World News<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Workers at a crisp factory in Australia have complained that a hot and spicy seasoning is affecting their health.<\/p>\n
A union is claiming the “Flamin’ Hot” seasoning, used for Doritos and Cheetos products, has caused a number of adverse effects including sneezing, coughing, eye and skin irritation, and breathing difficulties.<\/p>\n
The United Workers Union (UWU) has lodged a complaint with the workplace health and safety regulator in South Australia<\/strong> after interviewing staff at the Smith’s Snackfood Company factory in Adelaide.<\/p>\n The UWU said the employees raised “significant safety concerns” regarding the “improper handling of strongly irritating substances”.<\/p>\n The union said it spoke to 13 workers during one shift last week and 11 reported negative effects from the seasoning.<\/p>\n In its complaint to SafeWork SA, the UWU said: “After interviewing 13 workers from the afternoon shift, 11 reported various effects, including sneezing, coughing, eye and skin irritation, runny nose, sore throat, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing.”<\/p>\n The UWU said the seasoning machine is used for the hot product “every couple of weeks”, with the ingredient “dispersing across the production area”.<\/p>\n Read more from Sky News: The Doritos Flamin’ Hot Cheese Supreme Corn Chips are described as having a “bold cheesy taste with full flavour and a full-on tooth-rattling crunch”.<\/p>\n The crisps, along with Cheetos Flamin’ Hot Puffs, feature a flame icon on the packaging to warn of their heat.<\/p>\n SafeWork SA and PepsiCo, which owns the factory, have been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631<\/a>
