   The Shanghai branch of China's Public Security Bureau has detained six
   employees of the meat supplier at the center of the country's latest
   food-safety scandal, the supplier's U.S.-based parent company confirmed
   on Monday.

   Police in China have detained employees of Shanghai Husi, a unit of
   Illinois-based OSI Group Inc, "as part of the ongoing governmental
   investigation into our company," OSI Group said in a statement.

   Shanghai's chief of police and deputy mayor Bai Shaokang told local
   radio in China that six executives of Shanghai Husi had been taken into
   custody, Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday.

   OSI had supplied meat to fast food chains McDonald's Corp and KFC
