27 Feb KFC struggles to give chicken away as store supply crisis continues

KFC is struggling to find charities to which it can donate thousands of tonnes of surplus chicken that has been stored in an unregistered depot during a supply crisis that has closed 160 stores for almost a week, inquiries by the Guardian suggest.

On Wednesday, the fast-food chain said it would have to destroy at least some of the chicken at a cold storage facility in Rugby, Warwickshire. It is run by DHL, the company in charge of a troubled supply contract with 900 KFC outlets.
