McDonald's follows different food standards for India, says estranged partner Vikram Bakshi
India TV NewsGlobal fast-food chain McDonald's estranged partner in India Vikram Bakshi on Thursday alleged the company follows "different standards" for India compared to other countries and ignored the food quality concerns raised by him for the last four years. Bakshi's response came after McDonald's India earlier alleged lapses in food quality and safety level by "all facets of the supply chain". "Using unapproved vendors for the supply chain is creating serious compliance risks to McDonald's standards for food quality and safety," McDonald's India said. "It is indeed ironic that the conscience of McDonald's has suddenly awakened to quality and food safety in India, when for the past four years, CPRL has been bringing to their attention, including their CEO, Steve Easterbrook, issues of the same, without extracting a single response or visit from them," Bakshi said in a statement.
