KFC Rejects Claims Over Stale Chicken At Mangaluru Outlet

Multinational fast food restaurant chain KFC on Monday said the information circulating following a recent customer complaint and subsequent food-safety inspection at its outlet in Mangaluru "doesn't depict the true facts" and asserted that the chicken served and stored at its restaurants is maintained as per prescribed norms.

The clarification was issued a day after one of its outlets was inspected by the officials of the Food Safety Division under the direction of Health Minister U T Khader, after



a consumer alleged that stale chicken was being served.

In a statement, KFC said that as a responsible brand, it is firmly committed to providing high levels of food safety, quality and hygiene.

The information circulating "doesn't depict the true facts." "We source high-quality chicken from reputed suppliers across the country and actively comply with FSSAI guidelines, along with certain global quality standards, to serve quality food to our customers," it said.
