Violations at McDonald’s, Yum China supplier company-led: regulator

Food safety violations at Shanghai Husi Food Co Ltd, a supplier to global brands including McDonald’s Corp and Yum Brands Inc, were company-led and not the acts of individuals, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing the Shanghai food and drug watchdog. McDonald’s and KFC’s parent Yum, along with a number of other global brands, have been pulled into a food safety scandal in China after it emerged that Shanghai Husi Food, a unit of U.S.-based OSI Group LLC, had supplied expired meat to clients.
