BEIJING, China – The owner of the KFC and Pizza Hut restaurant chains said Thursday a food safety scandal in China has hurt sales and might be severe enough to cut into the company’s global profit.
Yum Brands Inc., in a filing with the U.S. securities regulator, gave no financial details and said it was too early to know when sales might rebound. But it said if the “significant sales impact” continues, it might hurt this year’s profit.

KFC and McDonald’s stopped using product supplied by Shanghai Husi and Yum said its restaurants severed all ties with OSI in China, the United States and Australia.
Chinese authorities have detained five Husi employees but have yet to confirm whether the company sold expired meat.
“The result has been a significant, negative impact to same-store sales at both KFC and Pizza Hut in China over the past 10 days,” Yum said in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission…
