Students outraged Aramark is serving nearly-raw pork chops and other ‘rotten’ food

ST. JOHNS, Canada — Newfoundland and Labrador's Memorial University is vowing to take the necessary steps to ensure the food served at its main dining hall on the St. John's campus is up to par.

Photos of mouldy lemons, uncooked pork chops and a taco with a side of dead fly popped up on social media from unhappy students over the past several days.

The food quality prompted students to post on the MUN Dining Services Facebook page and other social media sites about their experiences with the dining hall.

One student compiled a list of complaints in an Imgur post.

Mandatory meal plans for university students living in residence at the St. John's campus cost more than $2,000 per semester.

The service is provided by Aramark, a company best known for providing food service in American prisons and schools.
