Big food brands tainted by scandal

The involved international fast food chain stores might have enjoyed quite high reputations, but that has much to do with the strict food safety practices in their home countries. Without strict supervision, they can also fall astray and break rules.

Chinese consumers in general are quite tolerant with producers; at the same time, we also have high expectations of international brands. However, the scandal over the expired meat has destroyed them all. The fact that KFC and McDonald's are trapped in scandals does not mean other brands are naturally free - the problem with Husi Food had been discovered with other meat suppliers, too. The whole food industry needs a thorough investigation.
