中國食品新醜聞,百勝和麥當勞道歉

(Reuters) - Yum Brands Inc and McDonald's Corp are facing a new food safety scare in China, dentingthe fast-food companies' efforts to shore up reputations and businesses thatwere hurt by a 2012 safety scandal in one of their biggest markets.

（路透社）——百勝餐飲集團和麥當勞公司在中國面臨新的食品恐慌，該快餐集團一直在採取措施重新提振因2012年食品安全醜聞而失去的信譽，這次的事件看來讓這樣的努力功虧一簣了。

McDonald's and KFC parent Yum apologized to customers on Monday after Chinese regulators shut a local meat supplierfollowing a TV report that showed workers picking up meat from a factory floor,as well as mixing meat beyond its expiration date with fresh meat.

麥當勞以及肯德基母公司百勝集團二者週一向消費者道歉。新聞報道說一家肉品供應商把肉放在工廠地板上，而且還把過期肉和鮮肉混合在一起，之後中國監管者將這家肉品廠關閉。

The companies said they immediately stopped using the supplier, Shanghai Husi Food Co Ltd, a unit of Aurora, Illinois-basedOSI Group, and had switched to alternatives. They added that the factory servedrestaurantsin the Shanghai area.

這兩家公司稱他們立馬停止使用該供應商的產品，也就是上海福喜食品有限公司，該公司屬於伊利諾伊州奧羅拉市的OSI集團公司的一部分。

OSI said on its Chinese website that management was "appalled by the report." The company said it hasformed its own investigation team, is fully cooperating with governmentinspectors and will take all necessary actions based on results of theinvestigation. "Management believes this to be an isolated event, buttakes full responsibility for the situation," OSI said.

OSI集團在其中文網站上說，管理層對這份新聞報道感到震驚。該公司稱已經成立了自己的調查團隊，將與政府人員緊密合作，並會根據調查結果採取所有必要措施。“管理層相信這只是個單獨的事件，但會對該事件負全責，”OSI稱。

OSI, which has close to 60 manufacturing facilities worldwide and had revenue of more than $5 billion in 2012, has beensupplying McDonald's in China since 1992 and KFC and Pizza Hut parent Yum since2008, according to its website.

OSI在全球擁有60家制造工廠，2012年營收50億美元，92年以來就成爲中國麥當勞的供應商，2008年以來成爲肯德基和必勝客的母公司百勝的供應商，網站上說道。

OSI is one of McDonald's key meat supplier sand has a good reputation, according to an industry insider speaking oncondition of anonymity. He added the incident highlights the issue firms faceenforcing strict processes with local staff.

OSI是麥當勞主要的肉類供應商，而且信譽良好，一名匿名的知情人員如是說。他說，這次事件表明企業在要求當地員工嚴格按程序辦事時所面臨的問題。

As well as Yum and McDonald's, OSI listed Starbucks Corp, Japan's Saizeriya Co Ltd, Papa John's International Inc, Burger KingWorldwide Inc and Doctor's Associates Inc's Subway brand as clients in China,according to a 2012 press release.

根據2012年的一份通訊稿，除了百勝和麥當勞外，OSI還稱星巴克、日本的薩莉亞，約翰棒，漢堡王，賽百味也是其在中國的客戶。

Burger King shares fell 1.6 percent to close at $26.13.

漢堡王的股價下降了1.6%，變爲26.13美元。

A Starbucksspokesman told Reuters that the company does not now have any direct businessdealings with Husi Food.

一名星巴克發言人對路透社說該公司和福喜公司沒有直接的生意往來。

Burger King, Subway, Papa John's and Saizeriya did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

漢堡王，賽百味，約翰棒以及薩莉亞還沒有做出迴應。
