Jollibee Towel Issue, MANILA—Jollibee Foods Corp. said it will be closing down one of its branches in BGC following an incident that has gone viral online.
The tweet, which has since been deleted, has garnered over 3,500 retweets and 6,600 likes.
In a statement released early Thursday, Jollibee said it will close down its Jollibee Bonifacio-Stop Over branch because of the towel issue for 3 days to review its compliance with the company’s procedures, as well as to retrain its personnel.
“Jollibee has carefully developed and complied with food preparation systems to ensure that we deliver excellent quality products and customer satisfaction,” the company said, adding that it is already conducting a thorough investigation on the incident.
A Facebook post by user Alique Perez early Wednesday made the rounds online. According to Perez, she ordered fried chicken via delivery for her family.
Establishments that have not prepared food in accordance with acceptable manufacturing practices can be slapped with a P500,000 fine and a one-month suspension of operations for the first offense under Republic Act 10611 or the Food Safety Act. The store will also be shut down permanently. –Usapangfoodtrip.com
