The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that a former food supplier for Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen has accused the fast-food chain of buying chicken from an unauthorized seller operating out of residential garages in Ontario, which did not submit to food safety inspections and in some cases sold "rotten" and "unsafe" meat to Popeyes restaurants. The Globe's Susan Krashinsky writes that Popeyes, which is owned by Restaurant Brands International, says it has found "no evidence" to support the allegations. Popeyes and RBI, which is also the parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King, were named as defendants in a statement of claim filed with Ontario Superior Court by ADP Direct Poultry, a former supplier of raw chicken products to Popeyes. ADP says it lost its contract with Popeyes after bringing its concerns to the company's attention. The claim alleges the chicken was not inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency or municipal food inspectors. In some cases, the chicken "was rotten or expired, and unfit for human consumption," according to the court document. Popeyes said in a statement, "We previously investigated the food safety allegations they are making and found no evidence to support them."
