McDonalds Japan chicken scare
McDonalds Japan recently suffered a scandal involving
chicken used in their products that were processed in China. Health concerns arose when it was discovered chicken
meat processed was past the expiration date.
The scandal caused many Japanese to avoid McDonalds in Japan causing the
company’s stock to plummet.
McDonalds Japan to recover from this scandal stopped
purchasing chicken from China. They also
list on their website the various nations their food is imported from. It courious to note from their listing food
is still being imported from China.
Although not chicken or beef, however food from China is identified in
some of the products on their menu. Such
as:
Red beans used in Anko pie
Onions used in Mushroom Risotto Balls
Mushrooms used in Mushroom Risotto Balls
Apples used in Apple Pie.
There is a Chinese proverb: “Lie down with dogs and you wake
up with fleas.”
Update that to: “Use food from China and you wake up with
fleas.”
McDonalds USA does not list the source of foods on their
menu. However in an email McDonalds USA
stated, “McDonald's USA does not purchase any chicken or beef from China.”
