Chicken probe

, December 19, 2012

A woman walks past a KFC restaurant in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, on December 18. Fast food giant KFC's Chinese subsidiary pledged on Tuesday to work with authorities in investigating claims by state television that its chicken suppliers had injected anti-viral drugs and growth hormones in its poultry. CCTV said that a commercial chicken producer called Liuhe Group had been feeding antiviral drugs and growth hormones to its chickens - right up until they were slaughtered. The chickens were then supplied to KFC and McDonalds, without any kind of quality checks. Reuters/Stringer
