Employees of a Chinese meat processor accused of using expired meat in its products have been detained by police. According to the Wall Street Journal, Chinese police said Wednesday they had detained five people connected to Shanghai Husi Food. Police didn't release their names but identified two of the detained employees as a person responsible for the company and a quality supervisor. The detained employees couldn't be reached for comment.
Hidden camera footage shown earlier this week on Dragon TV in China showed workers at a Shanghai Husi plant using out-of-date chicken and beef to make burgers and chicken patties for its customers, including McDonald’s and KFC. Workers were seen scooping up meat that had fallen onto the plant floor and putting it into the processing equipment, reports the New York Times.
