McDonald's is gradually restoring more items to its menu after the fast-food
chain ended a relationship with one of its biggest suppliers over a food safety
scandal.
McDonald's China said it's working closely with suppliers to ensure safe
ingredients in all its restaurants while also strengthening quality assurance
measures, according to an e-mailed statement today.
It said menu choices vary in different regions of the country although
Shanghai customers will be able to order a Big Mac, fish burgers and spicy
chicken fillet burgers.
The company said it is now sourcing meat from McKey Food Services Ltd, a
Shenzhen unit of Philadelphia-based Keystone Foods.
Last month, McDonald's supplier Shanghai Husi Food Co was embroiled in a food
safety scandal after a television report said the company had been mixing
expired and fresh meat.
McDonald's and Yum Brands Inc, which owns KFC and Pizza Hut, both terminated
their sourcing relationships with Shanghai Husi, a subsidiary of US-based OSI
Group.
