McDonald's halts nuggets sales in Hong Kong

[Hum]

Fast food chain McDonald's has suspended sale of chicken nuggets and some other products in Hong Kong.

It said it had imported chicken and pork from Shanghai Husi Food, the Chinese firm that allegedly supplied out of date meat to fast food firms.

China has suspended operations of Shanghai Husi after local media reports claimed it re-processed expired meat.

McDonald's had removed nuggets from its menus at its Japanese outlets earlier this week over the same issue.

It said on Wednesday that about 20% of its chicken nuggets sold in Japan came from Shanghai Husi.

McDonald's said that nearly 500 stores in Japan had removed chicken nuggets from their menu, adding that sales were expected to resume after it switches to other suppliers in China and Thailand.

McDonald's has also stopped selling its McSpicy chicken filets, chicken and green salads, fresh corn cups and iced lemon tea at its outlets in Hong Kong.

The move came after Hong Kong's food safety regulator suspended all imports from Shanghai Husi Food.

Massive scandal here in Japan.

They keep showing the workers picking up meat that fell on the floor and tossing it back into the mincer.

Other footage has a worker sawing the GREEN moldy outer surface of blocks of chicken so the inside won't go to waste.

No one is ever going to eat a nugget again...

I wonder if the frozen chicken nuggets I bake at home are safe. :laugh:
