Much of it related to the general disregard of personal hygiene demonstrated by those who worked there, with an unnecessarily touchy-feely attitude to the produce guaranteeing the transfer of all manner of germs, etc...

Nose picking was rife and 'roly, flicky' was the chosen solution for dealing with the contents. Flicky was generally aimed towards the mix.

I saw one fella drawing in a large 'a a a a a aaaaa' before unleashing an almighty 'choooooo' directly into the about-to-be-packed food. He smiled happily to himself, wiped his nose on his sleeve and carried on stirring.

I did voice some concerns at the time, but they fell on deaf ears and I was told not to rock the boat. Instead I decided to disembark entirely.
