VIDEO ‐ Tragedy: Worker Falls into Industrial Food Processor at California Burrito Factory
2025-07-15
Of such things are urban legends made.
[Breitbart] A 19-year-old man tragically died on Sunday evening while working in the kitchen at Tina’s Burritos factory in Vernon, California.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department said it received a call about a worker being hurt at the facility, ABC 7 reported on Monday.

While the man was cleaning an industrial food processor, the machine unexpectedly activated and he began screaming for others to help him switch it off. However, employees were unable to do so, Vernon Police Department Sgt. Daniel Onopa explained, adding the young man had already passed away when they arrived at the scene.

KTLA specified the machine the man fell into was a meat grinder. The outlet’s video showed people at the scene who appeared to be upset following the incident.
Upset is one way to describe it…
The outlet said the man’s identity was not released pending his family’s notification:

“Sgt. Onopa said there was no indication of foul play and that it appears to be a terrible accident,” the ABC 7 report stated.

Of course, like many will wonder...
Was that batch really tossed out?

Worst case, here on the East Coast, we are still safe for a few days, for what's on the freezer shelf now.
