Recently in China, authorities are keeping a close eye on the meat dealers since an accusation were made that they were involved in providing expired products and naming them as fresh. This action has disturbed the foreign fast food chains in China. This news has spread after a private investigation done by a local television which clearly showed that expired meat is again labelled as fresh and sent to different popular fast food chains of China.

China’s State Food and Drug Administration have planned to check all eight main land meat plants. It ordered to check Shangai Plant which has been closed by local supervisors. Several other wide-spread checks are being made on different meat supplier instead of doing it on entire China meat processing industry.
OSI- an Illinois based company has already apologized to both the authorities and its customers. Star Bucks is now tied up with Yum brand’s KFC and Pizza Hut to get products directly from the meat plants rather than purchasing it from the untrustworthy meat suppliers. All the coffee chains said that this action is merely affecting one item which is chicken apple Panini sandwich. The Husi processing plant was responsible for supplying meat to foreign fast food chain in Shangai and McDonalds in Japan for its one-fifth chicken Mc nuggets. McDonalds has decided to stop taking Mcnuggets from meat plants of China and Thailand. It is certainly difficult for foreign food chains to change their meat suppliers on such a short notice.
