Expired meat products totalling 521.2 metric tons from the Shanghai Husi Food Co, which was involved in a food safety scandal last summer, have been destroyed.
Â
Shanghai Husi Food Co is owned by OSI China, the Chinese arm of US food giant OSI Group. It was accused of supplying expired meat to fast-food giants, including McDonald's and Yum Brands, by a local television station in July 2014.
Â
Food safety authorities launched an immediate investigation that led to the arrest of six senior executives and a nationwide product recall.
Â
The outdated meat products were destroyed in Shanghai, Beijing and the provinces of Liaoning, Henan, Sichuan and Shandong under the supervision of local food safety departments.
Â
The last batch of recalled products, 1,415 cases of expired meat, was destroyed in Shanghai on Sunday, according to the Shanghai Food Safety Administration.
Â
All the problem products produced by Shanghai Husi have now been disposed of safely, an official said.
