McDonald’s Japan switches chicken sourcing to Thailand

McDonald’s Co. (Japan) said on Friday that it has halted sales of all products containing chicken meat from China and switched sourcing completely to Thailand.

The fast-food giant’s Japan business had already stopped selling items made with meat sourced from Shanghai Husi Food Co., a China-based supplier that was recently shut down over food safety concerns. Shanghai Husi had supplied about 20 percent of the burger chain’s Chicken McNuggets.
