Hormel Foods has been aware of this video circulating on social media depicting an incident in a grocery store in Missouri. The subject of the video has been identified as Benjamin Elkins, an employee of Hormel Foods, which is not accurate. This individual is not an employee of Hormel Foods. Our records show he was employed for about 90 days by the company’s flight department and has not been employed by the company since 2023. The individual’s actions in the video are appalling and it is unfortunate that they have been linked in any way to our company.
