A watchdog closed a Chinese branch of privately held U.S.-based food supplier OSI Group LLC and seized meat products suspected of being beyond their expiration date, according to a statement on Monday from the Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration. OSI products were sold to clients including Yum's KFC and Pizza Hut chains and McDonald's. An official at Aurora, Illinois-based OSI in China said the firm was working with local government to investigate the matter, but declined to comment further.</p><br clear="all"/>
