Thread Name: BS: Healthier chicken?
Subject: RE: BS: Healthier chicken?
This is a story switch: Yum Brands (parent of KFC), which is scheduled to report earnings on Feb. 4, defended the quality of its food in December following customer backlash when food regulators in China said certain samples of its KFC chicken contained unusually high levels of antibiotics.
The public relations blow to the company's image comes in the highly competitive, fast-growing Chinese market where KFC faces intense rivalry with Taiwanese-owned fried chicken chain Dico.
