KFC parent Yum! Brands (YUM.NYSE) and McDonald’s (MCD.NYSE) on Monday apologized to customers after another food safety scandal broke in China, Reuters reported. Chinese regulators shut a local meat supplier after a TV report that showed workers picking up meat from a factory floor, as well as mixing meat beyond its expiration date with fresh meat. The companies said they immediately stopped using the supplier, Shanghai Husi Food, a unit of Aurora, Illinois-based OSI Group, and had switched to alternatives. They added that the factory served restaurants in the Shanghai area.
