Smith's is installing extra fans in a factory as workers claim they are having difficulty breathing and experiencing skin irritation after dealing with the seasoning used to make "flamin' hot" Doritos.
SafeWork SA is looking into the claims after the United Workers Union alleged employees at an Adelaide Smith's Snackfood Company factory raised significant safety concerns about the "improper handling of strongly irritating substances".
In a report sent to the workplace regulator, the union said "flaming hot seasoning" dispersed across the factory production area every couple of weeks from a seasoning machine.
