McDonald’s says it can’t vouch for the quality of 40% of its restaurants in India
McDonald’s is unsure about what’s being served in over 100 of its restaurants in India.
The American fast-food chain has said that there are “serious compliance risks” involving food quality and safety at 169 of its outlets entangled in a legal battle with local partner Connaught Plaza Restaurants (CPRL).
The warning comes close to four months after McDonald’s India (MIPL) issued a notice of termination of its franchise agreement with CPRL, alleging that the latter had breached the terms of their partnership. It barred CPRL from using its brand name, trademarks, designs, and food recipes. CPRL has, however, continued to run these outlets.
“Since the termination of the franchise agreement, MIPL has not been able to verify if the unauthorised McDonald’s restaurants operated by CPRL in north and east India are complying with applicable McDonald’s standards, including those pertaining to supplies, operations and safety standards, and quality required for McDonald’s products,” an MIPL spokesperson said over e-mail.
MIPL has called for an immediate closure of these restaurants.
