Ms Wright, who had joined the firm in June 2023, said her cheese pots complaint took place in May 2024 and she had been told to bin the cheese and “be discreet”.
She alleged this showed “deliberate concealment of health and safety endangerment”.
SFE told the tribunal that about the same time, colleagues had begun raising “concerns” with Ms Wright’s behaviour and a meeting was held which resulted in no further outcome.
Ms Wright said she felt her complaints had been “belittled”.
A further disciplinary hearing was then held in July, after SFE alleged she had been “rude and unproductive”, and she was dismissed “with immediate effect”.
Ms Wright said she had not been permitted a trade union representative at this meeting.
