CRI听力:Yum Allegedly Involved in China Mutton Scandal

Shanghai authorities are testing alleged mislabeled mutton from a wholesaler which supplies a chain of hot pot restaurants run by U.S. fast food firm Yum Brands.

Shanghai food safety inspectors have raided a wholesale market and found packages labeled "New Zealand mutton" which had no production date or list of ingredients.

Invoices indicate that some of the meat had already been sold to several restaurants, including outlets of Yum-owned Little Sheep.

The mislabeled meat crackdown follows media reports last week that police busted a group that had passed off more than a million dollars worth of rat and small mammal meat as mutton.

For more on this, we're joined online now by Mark Hughes, Executive Business Editor of China Daily.
