A DoorDash driver is facing felony charges after allegedly spraying a customer’s food with an unknown substance.
According to reports, the incident occurred on December 13, 2025, when a customer placed an order through the popular food delivery app. The driver, whose identity has not been disclosed, arrived at the customer’s residence and handed over the food. However, upon opening the package, the customer noticed a strange smell and immediately contacted the authorities.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the food had been sprayed with an unknown substance, which is believed to be a chemical. The customer reported feeling ill after consuming the food and was taken to the hospital for treatment. The current condition of the customer is unknown.
The DoorDash driver was arrested and is now facing felony charges for tampering with food. The company has also released a statement, condemning the driver’s actions and stating that they have a zero-tolerance policy for such behavior. They have also promised to fully cooperate with the authorities in their investigation.
This incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of food delivery services. Customers are now questioning the measures in place to ensure the quality and integrity of their food. DoorDash has assured its customers that they have strict protocols in place to prevent such incidents from happening, including background checks on all their drivers.
This is not the first time DoorDash has faced controversy. In 2023, the company was sued for misclassifying its drivers as independent contractors instead of employees, resulting in them being denied benefits and protections. The case was eventually settled for $35 million.
As for the current situation, the DoorDash driver is expected to face the consequences of their actions. The company has also promised to take necessary steps to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Customers are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
