LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Yum Brands Inc. has said that it expects that KFC's sales in China will suffer due to a recent government investigation of its poultry.
The company announced in late December that the Chinese government was conducting a review of two poultry suppliers who provided chicken with unapproved levels of antibiotics to KFC. While the supplies represent a small percentage of the company's product, the publicity did slow sales.
Yum Brands said that due to the bad publicity associated with the review, it expects a key sales measure for KFC in China. . .
