Chinese authorities are investigating after a viral video appeared to show a worker from Tsingtao urinating into a tank, believed to contain ingredients for its popular beer.

The clip has received tens of millions of views on social media.

The company said it alerted police immediately after the video came to its attention, adding that the batch of ingredients had been sealed.

Tsingtao is one of China’s top beer producers and its biggest exporter.

    Reminds me of this video where a shirtless Chinese fella is wading in a giant pool of kimchi. The video led to a Korean boycott of Chinese kimchi, which is commonly served in greasy spoons across Korea.

      I’m left to wonder is that was before or after any cleaning process. If it’s before… it’s not a great look but not all that bad. This stuff comes from farms where it’s got to be cleaned before use anyway because of dirt, pesticides, etc.

      If it’s after “cleaning” then I think this reaction is sufficient. 🤢🤮
