Shanghai says restaurants must post information on source of menu items
Shanghai's food and drug administration is requiring five restaurant chains to release information on their suppliers on their websites, according to a city government circular released on Saturday.
The five enterprises - Yum! Brands, McDonald's, Dicos, Burger King and Carl's Jr. - were all involved in a food scandal that exposed Shanghai Husi Food Co for using expired meat and forging production dates. The city government circular did not specifically mention that the information disclosure requirement is related to the Husi case.
