China's McDonald, No Beef?



Chinese authorities accused Shanghai Husi of intentionally selling meat beyond its shelf life to restaurant companies. Five employees at the Shanghai unit have been detained by authorities.

McDonald's restaurants in China have faced a shortage of hamburgers and chicken products after cutting ties with Shanghai Husi Food Co. Business in Japan and Hong Kong also has been affected.

In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, McDonald's said that because of the issue with the supplier, businesses in China, Japan and certain other markets "are experiencing a significant negative impact to results." 

A [food] chain is as strong as its weakest  link.

Just a thought.
