P58m suit halts KFC fresh produce meals

All 88 KFC stores in Botswana have ceased to serve vegetables and fruits with their burgers, twisters and salads. 

For the past four months KFC tills have borne a notice with a picture of a tomato and the inscription 'all fresh produce is out of stock until further notice'. According to the Johannesburg CEO, complaints about food safety after a case of brain damage involving baby Monika Samaan of Sidney, Australia, as well as a similar complaint in Germany, had the fast food outlet introducing minimum food safety standards for fresh produce.
