McDonald’s Corp. and Yum Brands Inc. are facing a new food safety scare in China, denting the fast food giants’ efforts to shore up reputations and businesses that were hurt by a 2012 safety scandal in one of their biggest markets.
McDonald’s and KFC-parent Yum apologized to customers on Monday after Chinese regulators shut a local meat supplier following a TV report that showed workers picking up meat from a factory floor, as well as mixing meat beyond its expiration date with fresh meat. The firms said they’ll stop using the supplier.
The report, which focused on McDonald’s and Yum, brings the pair back into the firing line following the 2012 scandal that involved chicken pumped with excessive amounts of antibiotics. It’s unclear whether the meat supplier, a local unit of US-based food provider OSI Group LLC, may have sold goods to other clients too.

I would not doubt it. I remember they passed a law that said chickens could be sent to China for processing and still be labeled as “Product of the USA”
What’s the problem? I’ve always heard that Molson was just the bottling operation underneath the floor spill drains at the Budweiser plant...
;)
Definitely worth $15 per hour.
15¥ ??
I don’t get it. Don’t they eat bugs in China? What’s the big deal?
I will stay pay a buckandahalf for a double cheeseburger
Just rinse it off with some more of that Clorox water they have in chicken plants.
My attitude on these places is if you eat there, you deserve what you get.
But I’ve eaten at plenty of mom and pop greasy spoons since. ;-)
15¥ = $2.42
Yeah but the bugs are from the bed not the floor.
Makes me ill just thinking about eating from either place.

I’ll guarantee you it’s not just at fast food operations. Many establishments, high end and low end turn a blind eye to these slips off of the spatula or the plate, or that sneeze by the preparer that wasn’t caught. In places like NYC, Boston, Chicago and other big cities where payoffs to the health inspectors is the norm it is even more prevalent.
That’s not even remotely close to true.
In my house, we have to fight the dogs for any meat scraps that hit the ground. Most are intercepted by the dogs about 6” below counter height. I’m having trouble understanding the “5 second rule’...I’ve never seen food that was still on the floor after 5 seconds!
Think you got that backwards. Budweiser is swill. Molson is real beer. The former gives me a headache, the latter does not.
I prefer my hometown “No Label” Ridgeback, personally. I was just getting a dig in to a freeper named “Molson”.
The floor adds flavor..
Yep.
The ‘ 5 second rule’ means nothing in a house with a 5 microsecond American Bulldog.
