A man died at a Clackamas Oregon meat distribution plant after he fell into a large meat blender.
The accident happened while workers were cleaning the equipment and did not notice the huge sign that said, ‘Warning- falling into this machine while it is blending meat will result in human body parts being blended with prime beef.”
The prime beef already in the machine was downgraded to ‘chuck.’
Another worker realized something was wrong when he called out, “Hey Larry, what’s that funny grinding noise?” and didn’t get an answer.
A medical examiner ruled that the worker died of ‘blunt-force injuries and chopping wounds’ and if served as an entrée in a zombie diner, could be paired with a side of slaw and a nice Pinot Noir.
The machine was taken out of service and scrubbed repeatedly for the next 5 days.
Local restaurants hoping to cash in on the news will promote a ‘mystery meat’ restaurant crawl. Vegetarians need not apply.
