McDonald's steps up meat supplies to match demand

US-based fast food giant McDonald's Holdings Co has increased sourcing from food suppliers in China to satisfy the demand for meat by its 2,000 restaurants in the country.

McDonald's China has increased its sourcing from Fujian Sunner Development Co Ltd and McKey Food Services Ltd, a unit of US-based Keystone Foods. Both of the companies have been suppliers to McDonald's, Regina Hui, director of communications for McDonald's China, told China Daily.

But whether the company will seek more domestic suppliers will depend on whether quality and standards match those required by McDonald's, said Hui.
