Bacteria found in Kentucky Fried Chicken​

​

On Friday, a children's rights group in the southern state of Telangana said it had submitted samples of KFC's fried chicken legs to the state food laboratory on June 18.

The laboratory report, which was seen by Reuters, detailed traces of bacteria such as E.coli, which indicates the presence of sewage or animal waste, and salmonella.

The Indian unit of fast food chain KFC, owned by Yum Brands Inc on Friday challenged the results of a test showing the presence of bacteria linked to food poisoning in a sample of its fried chicken, dismissing them as "false allegations".

The company disputes the test results and a subsequent recall order, but it has become India's worst safety scare involving packaged food in a decade.

Achyuta Rao, an official of APBHS, the group commissioning the tests, said it would submit a copy of the report to the office of the state's chief minister later on Friday.

"This is a state laboratory report," he added. "We are not against KFC or any brand. "We are a children's rights organisation."
