Illinois-based meat processing holding company OSI Group said it will lay off 340 employees at its Chinese affiliate, Husi Food Co., Ltd., after the facility made headlines in July surrounding an ongoing food safety investigation.
Operations at the Husi facility in Shanghai were halted by Chinese officials who confirmed there was illegal activity at the facility. Undercover footage captured employees casually placing meat that fell on the ground back into company supplies while news agencies reported there was evidence the facility routinely repacked expired meat products.
