Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats are implementing direct and extra security measures to verify the immigration status of their UK riders and prevent illegal account sharing among delivery drivers. This decision follows an investigation by Sanya Burgess for the iPaper, which highlighted issues with illegal workers and working practices within these companies. Additionally, a disturbing incident involving a Deliveroo rider, Jenniffer Rocha, who continued making deliveries even after being convicted of biting off a customer's thumb, has prompted further scrutiny and action from these food delivery giants.
