Concerns about YUM chicken in China

I don't know their model- does the chicken for YUM's outlets overseas come from the US or foreign sources? I'd assume from their own countries due to import costs and restrictions. Does anybody know?

Good question Deb. I have no idea where the chickens themselves originate but I would think the question might be where does their feed originate? (I doubt the chickens are going anywhere to get flu shots or meds if you know what I mean.) since most (over half at least) of the worlds feed corn comes from the US it is a question that should concern all of us. The next question is if similar trace amounts have been found in the US.
