Husi Food supplies global fast food chains like McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut

Singapore: A shocking revelation, by the quality control manager at Husi Food, China indicated that expired meat was reused since ages by the Shangai-based food processing company.

Mr Zhang Hui, the quality control manager said that it was common practice to re-process "expired" meat as long as it was approved by a senior executive, to a Shanghai news report.

The Shanghai company supplies a number of global fast food chains, including McDonald's, KFC and Pizza Hut.

Mr Hui added that substandard products that do not meet the clients requirements were reused without any approvals as it was a part of the company's policy to use such products.

Following allegations, several Husi personnel are being questioned by a team of officials from the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) and public security bureau for investigation.

 

Shanghai Husi Foods, is said to have exported expired meat with falsified dates showing extended shelf life and have lied to quality inspectors from McDonald's.

Following Sunday's raid by the SFDA, the Husi plant has been sealed off and suspect products have been seized.

SFDA said that it had urged all companies that used Husi products to suspend sales and to seal any outstanding stocks for inspection.

Husi foods said that it is conducting an internal review into the matter and will cooperate with the government to complete its investigation. The firm said that McDonald's had sealed more than 4,500 cases of beef, chicken and pork, while Pizza Hut had sealed more than 500 cases of seasoned beef products.
