Yum! Brands, Inc. Research Reports
On July 30, 2014, Fox News reported that Yum Brands Inc. (Yum Brands), the owner of the KFC and Pizza Hut restaurant chains, said that food safety scandal has hurt sales and might be severe enough to cut into the Company's global profit. Fox News stated that Yum Brands, in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, gave no financial details and said it was too early to know when sales might rebound. However, it said if the "significant sales impact" continues, it might hurt this year's profit. Fox News added that the scandal erupted last week when a Shanghai TV station reported that Husi, owned by OSI Group Inc. of Aurora, Illinois, repackaged old beef and chicken and sold it to KFC and McDonald's Corp. restaurants in China. Fox News further stated that KFC and McDonald have stopped using product supplied by Shanghai Husi and Yum Brands said its restaurants severed all ties with OSI in China, the U.S. and Australia.
