Memorandum �. <br /> To: State and Local Health Departments <br /> From: Joshua Funk <br /> Sr. Manager of Food Safety and Quality Assurance <br /> Date: April 25, 2015 <br /> Re: KFC Pre-Breaded(Parcooked) Chicken Tenders Process <br /> Our primary goal at KFC is to ensure the safety and quality of all of our food products. We have <br /> developed and continue to enforce procedures to achieve that goal and want to share information <br /> regarding a new breading process for chicken tenders that KFC will be implementing in 2015. <br /> KFC Corporation has developed a new preparation procedure for our chicken strips/tenders. This <br /> procedure includes a par-fry(blanch) step and cool down prior to final cooking for service. This process <br /> can be found in the FDA Food Code in Section 3-401.14 (Non-Continuous Cooking of Raw Animal <br /> Foods) <br /> KFC procedures and HACCP plan incorporate all the required steps found in the Food Code. The KFC <br /> procedures and HACCP plan are attached for your review. <br /> This process has been tested in restaurants in several states for a number of months now with the <br /> approval of the state and local departments of health. There have been no issues or concerns with this <br /> process. <br /> Since KFC plans to implement this procedure in some of the KFC restaurants in your state, we wanted <br /> to send you this information so that you can share it with your inspection team. We have also requested <br /> that our restaurants obtain approval from their local jurisdiction prior to implementation. We would <br /> appreciate your assistance in cascading this information and hope that this will alleviate questions or <br /> concerns from your inspectors as they visit our restaurants and see this new procedure. <br /> If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me by phone or <br /> email. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Joshua Funk <br /> Sr. Manager, Food Safety&Quality Assurance <br /> KFC 1900 Colonel Sanders Lane, Louisville, KY 40213 <br /> Office: 502-874-8899 <br /> Cell:812-989-7605 <br /> Joshua.Funk@yum.com <br />
