China has detained five people as part of its probe into a firm that allegedly supplied out of date meat to fast food chains, including McDonald's and KFC.

State-owned Xinhua news agency said the five were held by the Shanghai police, but did not give any further details.

Chinese regulators suspended operations of Shanghai Husi Food earlier this week after reports in local media claimed it re-processed expired meat.

Shanghai Husi is the Chinese unit of US-based food supplier OSI Group.

1. Which begs the question...

Just how long has this been going on? All the more reason to stop eating shit-for-food aka fastfood. They are capitalizing on the myth that meat is essential staple of diet. Wonder if the lesson will be learned here.

3. I haven't eaten any red meat since 1979

and we don't do fast food.

2. Fast food chains buy from the lowest priced supplier.

And that's all they care about.

Puts a whole new light on McDonald's "Dollar Menu"...
