McDonald’s to boost audits

Published September 3, 2014

SHANGHAI: McDonald’s Corp will increase the number of audits it conducts of suppliers in China, the firm said on Tuesday, after a food scandal in July dented China sales at the US fast food chain and rival Yum Brands Inc.

In a statement on Tuesday, the restaurant chain said half of the audits would be done unannounced and would be carried out by third party auditors and internal teams. Industry insiders had told Reuters that suppliers in China often knew about audits in advance. McDonald’s will push for more video monitoring at its Chinese suppliers and send more quality control specialists to all meat production facilities, it added.
