Fast Food Scandals




McDonald's Serves the Latest Food Scandal

McDonald’s has committed another food scandal. In a CCIV undercover report, an unappetizing report of a McDonald’s branch in Sanlitun Vilaage South was featured.
That branch served grubby food such as cheese which stood in the sun for too long or hamburger meat that had fallen to the floor which was picked up, brushed and then served to costumers.
A consequence is now, that the Sanlitun location is closed/ has been shut down temporarily.

KFC fall into Food Scandal in China

The soya-bean milk sold by KFC was made of milk powder
The KFC staff admitted that the soya-bean milk which the company sells isn’t made of soya-bean, but that the drink s made with milk powder sold by the Dragon King Company. This fake soya milk made with the powder is sold in all the Chinese cities except Beijing.
To justify, the KFC staffs say that they never affirmed that that soya-bean milk is made from real soya.                                  
Media report said that the cost of KFC soya-bean milk was only 10% of their selling price but KFC answer that they selling products of high quality for suitable prices.

International fast food chains involved in Chinas CHICKEN-SCANDAL

The two international fast food chains McDonalds and KFC from the USA, Japan and from Taiwan are involved in the scandal.
The scandal consist of the fact that 2 chicken furnishers of 2 big fast food chains feed their chicken with excessive hormones and 18 different types of antibiotics with the intent that they grew up faster (from 30 grams to 3,5kg into 40days).
China is the biggest market for the fast food industry. Famous KFC which is a chain of the “YUM” receives almost the half of his annual revenue from China and it’s the main profiteer of the chicken fast food scandal in China
.
Horse meat scandal eliminates trust for fast food industry

Some time ago, three Taco Bells in Europe found tracks of horse meat in their ground beef. Now concerns raise/appear about the integrity of fast food restaurants and slaughterhouses.
Can fast food chains be trusted now with their food?
Another question rises now that horse meat was discovered in Taco Bell’s ground beef if these occurrences are truly an accident or if the suppliers don’t care about what they put in their meat.
Burger King caught in horse meat scandal

Burger King admitted that the burger supplier silvercrest used horse meat in their ground beef.
To appease the customers, the popular fast food chain claims that no horse DNA was found in their tested patties.
It’s not even sure if that horse meat ever reached the customers.
Burger King now uses suppliers from Italy and Germany and no more from Ireland where that horse meat came from.
Diego Beomant, global quality vice president at Burger King, apologized for letting that customers down.
