As if fast food needed anyone’s help in undermining the health of its consumers, a Kentucky Fried Chicken employee was fired this week after she was photographed licking a batch of mashed potatoes.
KFC’s Louisville, Ky.-based parent company, Yum! Brands R.S.C., confirmed on Monday that an unnamed Johnson City, Tenn., employee had been terminated for posting a Facebook photo in which she appears to be licking the fluffy peak of a pot of potatoes, according to the Johnson City Press.
A spokesman for the worldwide chicken chain said the company was sure the potatoes had not been served to any customers, according to several media reports.
The employee who took the photo also has been fired, the Johnson City Press reported.
