Frankfort, KY -- KFC announced this morning it would replace donkey manure as one of its ingredients from its entire line of food products including fried chicken, potato wedges and cheese cake. Gregg Dedrick, company President, announced that instead of using donkey manure, KFC would use ingredients deemed more ‘wholesome.’ The President of the company noted that taste was not going to be compromised with their products. “We are proud of our product and will move forward with a more natural product line without compromising the quality taste of our food.” Dedrick did inform that a couple products would still use donkey manure, such as the Oreo Pie, until appropriate options could be tested for taste approval.
KFC’s decision to switch donkey manure out of its ingredient list came on the heels of what is anticipated to be a complete revamping of the food code in New York City. The plan is being called the “Less poison in our food” Plan. For years, KFC has been secretly using donkey manure as part of their secret recipe that has been used for everything they sell such as popcorn chicken and Pepsi products. But with recent public perceptions of manure and other off-key ingredients dropping in favor, restaurants have been acting quickly to appease their customer base which generates billions of dollars a year in revenues throughout the fast food industry.
KFC is not the only company that will be altering the ingredients in their products. Long John Silver announced last week that it would stop using mercury laden products in their “Hushpuppies” while Arbys announced last month it would stop using dismembered humans in their entire sandwich line. McDonalds had announced it planned to stop using rendered employee meat in their products in early 2006, however, they have yet to have completed the switch from rendered elderly humans to “some other” meat source.
