Chinese branches of fast food chains, including McDonald's and KFC, have stopped using meat from a supplier in Shanghai following allegations it sold them out of date meat.

According to Xinhua, the state-owned news agency, authorities in Shanghai have ordered the suspension of operations at Shanghai Husi Food Co.

Reports by local media said that Husi had re-processed expired meat products.

McDonald's and KFC said they had stopped using meat from Husi.

In a statement posted on its website, translated from Mandarin, the Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration said it had "decided to investigate claims of the alleged use of expired raw food material production and the processing of it in food".

Shanghai Husi is the Chinese unit of US-based food supplier OSI Group.

First they poison our dogs and sell us defective crap merchandise, now they’re poisoning their own people. For some strange reason, I don’t think I have any current or future travel plans that include Red China.

Thank goodness that American companies don’t send chicken to China to be processed. ( /sarcasm)

Because that rancid meat was intended for US consumption.

And yes, I’m so glad the government allowed them to import chicken nuggets from china... because you know people losing their pets because of poison in their food wasn’t bad enough.

What does “re-processed expired meat products” actually mean?
If the inspector doesn’t puke when he smells the meat it is OK?

I vaguely recall Dan Rather cut his teeth on a story like this on 60 Minutes eons ago.

Very clever of the ChiComs. Keep public anger distracted and directed at anything other than the Party or the Government.
