A 99 Ranch Market representative replied to Seto on Facebook, saying that an internal investigation had been opened and the meat in question had been discarded. The representative said that the men in the photo were not supermarket employees, but workers from the supermarket's meat vendor, Jim's Farm Meat Co. Inc. The workers have been fired, The Modesto Bee reported.
