00:00:00.041 --> 00:00:04.295
Amazon has fired an employee who tested
positive for having food in their system.

2
00:00:04.295 --> 00:00:08.049
The employee, Kendra Johnson, violated
Amazon's strict zero

3
00:00:08.049 --> 00:00:10.969
tolerance policy against the use of food
by their employees.

4
00:00:10.969 --> 00:00:14.347
This comes after she failed a routine
random food test, indicating

5
00:00:14.347 --> 00:00:17.475
that her bloodstream contained traces
of not only vitamins and minerals,

6
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.394
but multiple proteins as well.

7
00:00:19.394 --> 00:00:22.647
Amazon has rejected allegations
that Johnson had been singled out,

8
00:00:22.689 --> 00:00:24.941
noting
that she was just one of several employees

9
00:00:24.941 --> 00:00:27.944
terminated after coming to work
under the influence of nourishment.

10
00:00:28.111 --> 00:00:31.573
They reminded employees
that showing up to work fed can jeopardize

11
00:00:31.573 --> 00:00:33.658
the safe starvation of their coworkers.

12
00:00:33.658 --> 00:00:36.911
Questions have now arisen
about the employee's past food use

13
00:00:36.911 --> 00:00:40.999
after an old Instagram photo
surfaced of her posing with a granola bar.
