McDonald’s in China, recycled cooking oil in Malaysia - by TAY TIAN YAN

 McDonald's restaurant in Sanlitun, Beijing was earlier uncovered to have sold expired fries, cheese and pies.  The news shocked the whole China, as well as the world. And McDonald's faced a crisis.

Strangely, the business of McDonald's restaurants in China was not affected. Instead, many Chinese who seldom ate McDonald's food in the past have turned into McDonald's fans.

The report appeared on the TV news report at 8.30pm. At 9.20pm, Beijing Health Inspection officials arrived at the restaurant to carry out an on-site inspection, which later proved that the restaurant had indeed violated the company's rule, but not the food safety regulations.

Within an hour, the McDonald's headquarters apologized and ordered the outlet to temporarily suspend its business for rectification. Other outlets were also warned to strictly comply with the requirements and regulations while the public, media and government departments are welcomed to supervise the operation of the fast food company's outlets.
