Everton confirmed a 62-year-old from Rainhill had been given an indefinite ban while his membership of the club was cancelled.
Merseyside Police said officers had been made aware of the incident but it was a matter for the club.
He was also asked to donate the £12.75 sum of food to the Everton in the Community charity.
The video was captured during the stadium’s first trial event on 17 February which saw 10,000 fans attend to see Everton play Wigan in an under-18s friendly,
