A former manager at a KFC eatery in Oregon alleges that the owner of his franchise not only ordered employees to serve expired chicken, but also that employees who refused to do so were fired.
According to the lawsuit filed yesterday in a state Circuit Court, KFC policy requires that all fresh chicken be served or discarded within 12 days of the "kill date" stamped on the box.
The lawsuit alleges that in 2010, a different manager had been ordered by the franchise owner to serve chicken that was "turning green and was several days beyond the expiration date." Instead, that manager threw away the chicken, against orders of her bosses. After the owner discovered the chicken had been tossed away, that manager says she was fired.
The plaintiff in the lawsuit alleges that he was directed by the franchisee to serve expired chicken as early as August 2010.
In Feb. 2011, he says one of his bosses changed the label on a box of fresh chicken to make it look like the chicken had been shipped frozen and thawed, and thus okay to serve.
