What is the KFC/YUM Factory Audit?

The YUM audit is a systematic and comprehensive assessment conducted by YUM Brands to evaluate potential suppliers across multiple critical dimensions. It is widely regarded as a “golden ticket” into the global supply chain of one of the world’s largest quick-service restaurant groups-1.

The audit is not just a paperwork check—it is a deep dive into how a factory operates every single day. It follows a “pre-announced + unannounced annual re-audit” model to ensure suppliers maintain compliance consistently over time.

Key Requirements of the KFC/YUM Audit

To give you a clearer picture of what this achievement represents, here are the core areas the YUM audit evaluates-3-6:

1. Legal Compliance & Business Ethics

  • Valid business licenses, tax registrations, and production permits.

  • Compliance with local and international labor laws, including anti-bribery and anti-corruption standards.

2. Labor Rights & Social Responsibility

  • Strict prohibition of child labor and forced labor.

  • Regulated working hours (maximum 84 hours per week) and fair overtime compensation.

  • No discrimination in hiring or promotion.

  • Freedom of association and the right to join unions.

3. Health, Safety & Working Environment

  • Adequate lighting, ventilation, and clean production floors-3.

  • Proper pest control and chemical storage (e.g., MSDS for hazardous materials).

  • Comprehensive fire safety equipment (extinguishers, alarms, emergency exits).

  • Sanitary facilities and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), including hair nets and designated eating/smoking areas away from production lines-3.

4. Quality Management & Traceability

  • A fully traceable system from raw materials to finished products.

  • Incoming material control, in-process inspections, and finished product testing.

  • Sharp tool control and metal detection for all finished products to ensure no physical contamination-3.

5. Environmental Protection

  • Proper wastewater treatment and disposal of hazardous waste.

  • Commitment to sustainable practices, such as energy efficiency and waste recycling.

Audit Grading System

The audit results are graded as follows-1:

  • A-Level (≥90%): Valid for 2 years; suppliers receive priority for new orders.

  • B-Level (≥80%): Valid for 1 year; demonstrates good compliance.

  • C-Level (<80% or Critical issues): Requires immediate corrective action and follow-up audits within a limited timeframe.

Multiways is proud to have met the rigorous standards required to pass this audit.
