Fast food chain KFC has issued a clarification on Monday, addressing claims of serving stale chicken at its Mangaluru outlet.

Officials collected chicken samples for laboratory testing and ordered the outlet to clear its current stock and clean the cold storage area. KFC stated it is fully cooperating with authorities and reviewing the matter.
