The former employee was subsequently fired for the parody drink recipe video.
“Hi, guys, I updated my recipe for the Blue Lives Matter drinks,”
Hart has since claimed that there was no bleach used in the video, but that the liquid was milk and water, and filled most of the beverage.
Target released a statement denouncing the contents of the video:
This video is appalling and unacceptable. We don’t tolerate this behavior at Target, want all guests to be treated with respect, and are terminating the team member who is responsible.
We’re deeply sorry for this disturbing video, which TikTok has removed based on the platform’s guidelines.
In a statement released by Target Safety and Procedure, they wrote “We also have rigorous food safety procedures in place, which this team member egregiously violated with this behavior.” Other than the main ingredient, the recipe also calls for “a little blood of innocent black men.”
