A photo of cream cheese served to students at Central High School is turning stomachs online, the latest in what's now a daily trend of students posting truly disgusting school food offerings.
Isaiah York and a friend are reconsidering their school food options after they popped open an individual cream cheese at breakfast Monday and found it covered in thick green mold,
The Star Press reports.
"I was a bit grossed out about it, it made me a bit uneasy," York said. "When we opened it, I was a bit in shock to be honest ... That's my first time encountering that."
The senior reported the fouled cheese to the school principal, who contacted the school's food services. The teens also posted the image to
Facebook and Twitter, and it's since gone viral.
Muncie Community Schools food services director Dianna Choate said the cream cheese came from the manufacturer in individually sealed portions that were within the expiration date, and officials checked other containers and found no mold.
Regardless, cafeteria staff dumped all of the cream cheese packets and contacted the Delaware County Health Department, The
Star Press reports.
"I feel it's a shame that MCS is being made out negatively for something that could occur anywhere, at any time, whether a school, business, or personal home," health department administrator Jammie Bane said.
"An incident occurring does not point to a trend, and does not point towards the schools not caring or not taking actions in an effort to ensure it doesn't occur again," Bane said. "As a matter of fact, our local schools excel at food safety."
