Shanghai destroys last of expired meat

Expired meat products totaling 521.2 metric tons from the Shanghai Husi Food Co, which was involved in a food safety scandal last summer, have been destroyed.

Shanghai Husi Food Co is owned by OSI China, the Chinese arm of US food giant OSI Group. It was accused of supplying expired meat to fast-food giants, including McDonald's and Yum Brands, by a local television station in July 2014.

Food safety authorities launched an immediate investigation that led to the arrest of six senior executives and a nationwide product recall.
