THIS is the disgusting moment a Tesco worker licks a Bakewell tart before tricking a colleague into eating it.

       Footage shows a woman grin as she swipes her tongue across the mini Mr Kipling cake then slyly slip the soggy treat back into the packet.

       The man behind the camera chuckles as the supermarket employee makes eye contact before the plastic is returned to the box.

       A separate video then shows another hi-vis-wearing worker helping himself to the sixth and final trifle Bakewell - ironically under a sign reading "people and safety".

       The man pops the pastry into his mouth whole before immediately spitting it out again in apparent disgust.

       Horrified, he asks: "Have you licked this?" while others laugh in the background.

       The prank appeared to take place in the staff area of a Tesco store, with those involved wearing the supermarket's uniform.

       It is understood to have been taken at a branch in the north east pre-pandemic in January 2020, but has resurfaced online this week.

       It was shared on Facebook with the caption: "Isn’t Tesco a nice place to work? When mangers go the extra mile for their staff."

       Sickened users quickly shared their horror at the clip.

       One person commented: "So it's a joke to tamper with someone's food? No it's not, it's disgusting."

       Another simply said: "That's disgusting."

       While a third chimed in: "This isn't remotely funny."

       But others saw the funnier side, with one stating: "Did she even lick it? Looks a bit like a pretend lick to me."

       A Tesco spokesperson said: “We are aware of this video from January 2020 and want to assure our customers that we expect all colleagues to work to the highest health and safety standards in our distribution centres."
