Your Chicken is Safe
The bird flu has not reached the U.S., but KFC still wants its customers to know that they are safe. The Associated Press reports in this article that KFC is engaging in a campaign to assure customers in the U.S. that their chicken is “rigorously inspected, thoroughly cooked, quality assured.” Small stickers are being put on the lid of every bucket of chicken sold by KFC in the U.S. to allay concerns about bird flu. Jonathan Blum, a spokesman for Yum Brands Inc., the parent of KFC, states that KFC has safeguards in place stretching from “farm to table” to guarantee that its chicken is safe.
