U.S. Group Overhauls China Business in Meat Safety Scandal

A leading U.S. meat supplier said on Monday that a Chinese unit at the center of a food safety scandal had issues that were "absolutely inconsistent" with the group's high standards.
Outcomes: 
David McDonald, OSI's president and chief operating officer, said the group was making senior management changes in China, and will set up a quality control center in Shanghai to better supervise its business. It will also bring in global experts to survey the China operations and improve auditing, including constant visual surveillance and extensive employee interviews. In addition, it plans to spend 10 million yuan ($1.62 million) on a food safety education program in Shanghai.
