近日，麥當勞、肯德基、必勝客等國際知名快餐連鎖店的肉類供應商——上海福禧食品有限公司存在大量采用過期變質(zhì)肉類原料的行為。5名涉案人員已被警方刑拘，22家餐飲企業(yè)被約談。各省市紛紛對相關餐飲企業(yè)進行排查。

針對近日所發(fā)生的事件,上海福禧公司美國集團總部做出了官方聲明，中英文全文如下：

來自福喜集團所有人、主席兼首席執(zhí)行官謝爾頓·拉文的聲明

獲悉發(fā)生在上海福喜食品有限公司的一切，我寢食難安。這樣的事情是完全不可接受的，對此我不會爭辯些什么或是試圖尋找任何借口。事實上，如此可怕的錯誤竟然發(fā)生在了我擁有的公司，已經(jīng)令我震驚無比。

在此，我代表上海福喜食品有限公司及福喜集團，向我們所有在中國的消費者真誠地道歉，并鄭重承諾：對此次的過失，我們將承擔全部責任，并確保類似的事件不會再次發(fā)生。

我在得知此事后，第一時間即派遣了由福喜集團在全球范圍內(nèi)最好的專家組成的團隊（今后還將陸續(xù)有更多的專家和技術人員）趕往現(xiàn)場，與當?shù)貓F隊齊心協(xié)力，確保我今天的承諾能夠確實地兌現(xiàn)。

福喜集團在全世界的工廠都嚴格遵守著最高的質(zhì)量標準，而因為如此，發(fā)生如此令人失望的事情，更使我深感痛責。

盡管如此，我們還是為我們位于河南的擁有世界頂尖設備的全新工廠感到驕傲，這座新設施體現(xiàn)出福喜集團充足的自信，和對中國市場的高度承諾。同時，我們也很欣慰地得知中國政府主管部門已經(jīng)對福喜集團的其它工廠設施進行了徹底的檢查。

Statement from the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and owner

of the OSI Group – Sheldon Lavin

July 24, 2014   

What happened at Husi Shanghai is completely unacceptable.  I will not try and defend it or explain it. It was terribly wrong, and I am appalled that it ever happened in the company that I own. 

On behalf of Husi and OSI, I sincerely apologize to all of our customers in China. We will bear the responsibility of these missteps, and will make sure that they never happen again. That is my commitment.

Upon hearing of the Shanghai issue, I immediately sent our best team of global experts from the OSI Group, and more are on their way, to work with the local team to ensure my promise to you today is met. 

We operate our OSI facilities around the world at the highest standards, so to be let down by what has happened here is extremely distressing.

We are very proud of our newest state-of-the-art facility in Henan.  It reflects our confidence and commitment in China.  We are also pleased that local Chinese authorities have inspected our other facilities and have not found any issues.
