Big Macs back on the menu in some cities

McDonald's Corp is starting to resume its full menu in some Chinese cities, almost two weeks after the fast-food chain pulled items including beef and chicken as one of its suppliers was investigated for using expired meat.

Customers in such cities as Beijing and Guangzhou will be able to buy all the items on the menu later this week, Illinois-based McDonald's said in a statement on Monday, without specifying the date or number of cities.

It also is increasing orders from other existing suppliers in China while exploring new ones, the maker of the Big Mac said.
