Popeyes Hit with Lawsuit: Unsafe Chicken Allegedly Stored in Garages

Popeyes Faces Lawsuit Over Allegedly Unsafe Chicken From Supplier Storing Meat in Garages A lawsuit filed in Ontario Superior Court of Justice accuses Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen of using "unsafe" chicken from an unauthorized supplier. The lawsuit, filed on May 26th by ADP Direct Poultry Ltd., a former supplier to Popeyes, alleges that the unauthorized supplier stored and packaged raw chicken in residential garages. ADP claims they lost their contract after raising concerns about the safety of the chicken. "Popeyes knowingly purchased and used chicken from a supplier that was operating outside of all health regulations," stated a representative from ADP, in a statement to CTVNews.ca. Popeyes denies the allegations, stating in a statement to CTV News that they conducted a thorough investigation and found "no evidence" to support the claims. The lawsuit also names Restaurant Brands International (RBI) and Restaurant Services Canada Inc. (RSCI). The case highlights concerns about food safety and supply chain practices in the fast-food industry. The outcome of the lawsuit will likely have significant implications for Popeyes and the broader food industry.
