(WXYZ) — There’s a disturbing problem facing Michigan National Guard troops guarding the U.S. Capitol – their food.
A whistleblower is telling 7 Action News nearly 75 meals were thrown out Sunday after metal shavings were found, other meals showed up undercooked making soldiers sick.
A staff sergeant with the Michigan National Guard, whose identity 7 Action News is protecting, says the problem is not isolated.
“Yesterday, for instance, there were 74 different meals found with raw beef in them,” the sergeant said. “Just yesterday, the lunches were, soldiers had found metal shavings in their food.”
7 Action News is told that after the food conditions continued once concerns were sent up the chain of command, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office was informed. She called the acting secretary of the army on this saying the food was “unacceptable.”
