- A Wolt customer received sushi that had fallen on the ground during delivery in Bnei Brak.
- The customer initially got a 50% refund offer but secured a full refund after prolonged complaints.
- Numerous similar reports surfaced online, describing food deliveries falling and still being delivered.
- The incidents raise serious food safety and public health concerns.
- Wolt confirmed the refund but did not clarify safety protocols or oversight measures.
- Consumers lack transparency on the condition of food once it leaves restaurants for delivery.
A customer who ordered a sushi platter worth about 500 shekels through Wolt discovered parts of her meal scattered outside her building in Bnei Brak, raising serious concerns about food safety and delivery practices. The incident occurred on the evening of the World Cup final when Shial noticed missing and damaged sushi pieces upon opening her order. After investigating, she found sushi pieces on the ground near her building, suggesting the food had fallen during delivery but was still handed over to her.
Shial initially contacted the restaurant but was redirected to Wolt's customer service, where she spent hours negotiating compensation. Wolt first offered a 50% refund, which she rejected due to health concerns, and only after prolonged communication did the company agree to refund the full amount. Shial shared her experience on social media, sparking hundreds of similar testimonies from other customers who witnessed or experienced food deliveries falling and then being repackaged or partially discarded.
These accounts have raised troubling questions about the responsibility of delivery personnel and the oversight mechanisms of food delivery companies like Wolt. Consumers have no way to verify the condition of their food once it leaves the restaurant, and incidents of food falling on the ground and still being delivered pose potential public health risks. Wolt confirmed the full refund to Shial but did not address broader safety concerns.
The growing number of reports online highlights a systemic issue in food delivery services, emphasizing the need for stricter controls to ensure food safety and maintain consumer trust.
