# Claim table — Coquitlam cupcake delivery food-safety Reel

| Claim | Evidence label | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| The Instagram Reel exists and alleges a delivery worker licked icing from cupcakes meant for customers in Coquitlam. | Confirmed source claim | Instagram browser metadata and visual QA captured the caption/overlay from @breakingnews.ca. |
| The video independently proves the conduct occurred exactly as described. | Not fully verified | The frame/caption show a viral allegation; no official complaint file, company statement, health-authority record or police record was found in this pass. |
| The worker was later fired. | Unverified claim | The caption says the woman who shared the footage claims this; NewsForBC did not find an independent record confirming firing. |
| The person was a foreign worker, immigrant, or part of a government “foreign worker food-supply” plan. | Unsupported comment-thread leap | No source found proves immigration status, nationality, work-permit status, or a link to food-supply policy. |
| Food-handling contamination concerns should be reported to health authorities. | Supported official route | CFIA directs complaints to the proper federal/provincial/local authority; Fraser Health says environmental health officers do routine, follow-up and complaint inspections. |
| B.C. regulates app-based delivery/gig work. | Supported context | B.C. states app-based ride-hail and delivery services are part of the gig economy and new regulations came into effect Sept. 3, 2024. |
| The public-interest issue is food-safety accountability and platform/vendor traceability. | Records-wanted question | Needed: customer complaint, company response, platform record, restaurant/bakery record, health-authority complaint/inspection outcome, and food disposal/refund documentation. |
