'Our children depended on nutritious meals served in schools and, instead, got substandard food products containing pieces of plastic, metal and bones,' Brooklyn-based U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said.
The former New York City Schools food chief was convicted in a bribery scheme involving bad chicken that was served to students.A man who oversaw food service for New York City schools was convicted Wednesday in a bribery case that picked apart how chicken tenders riddled with bone and bits of metal were served for months in the nation's biggest public school system.
"Our children depended on nutritious meals served in schools and, instead, got substandard food products containing pieces of plastic, metal and bones," Brooklyn-based U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement Wednesday. He called the case "a textbook example of choosing greed" over children's well-being.
The SOMMA founders "made sure that they got the key decision-maker at SchoolFood in their pocket so that he would make sure that the D.O.E. served a lot of their food products," Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Zuckerwise said in a closing argument this week. "Eric Goldstein got what he wanted, too. He cashed in the power and the resources and the influence of his office to enrich himself.
They were allowed back two months later - a day after the SOMMA founders agreed to pay Goldstein $66,670 and gave him their shares of the beef business. Goldstein then signed off on reintroducing Chickentopia products, prosecutors said.
