Colonel Harland Sanders
Colonel Harland Sanders, born September 9, 1890, actively began franchising his chicken business at the age of 65. Now, the KFC® business he started has grown to be one of the largest quick service food service systems in the world. And Colonel Sanders, a quick service restaurant pioneer, has become a symbol of entrepreneurial spirit.
More than a billion of the Colonel's "finger lickin' good" chicken dinners are served annually. And not just in North America. The Colonel's cooking is available in more than 80 countries and territories around the world.
When the Colonel was six, his father died. His mother was forced to go to work, and young Harland had to take care of his three-year-old brother and baby sister. This meant doing much of the family cooking. By the age of seven, he was a master of several regional dishes.
At age 10, he got his first job working on a nearby farm for $2 a month. When he was 12, his mother remarried and he left his home near Henryville, Ind., for a job on a farm in Greenwood, Ind. He held a series of jobs over the next few years, first as a 15-year-old streetcar conductor in New Albany, Ind., and then as a 16-year-old private, soldiering for six months in Cuba.
After that he was a railroad fireman, studied law by correspondence, practiced in justice of the peace courts, sold insurance, operated an Ohio River steamboat ferry, sold tires, and operated service stations. When he was 40, the Colonel began cooking for hungry travelers who stopped at his service station in Corbin, KY. He didn't have a restaurant then, but served folks on his own dining table in the living quarters of his service station.
As more people started coming just for food, he moved across the street to a motel and restaurant that seated 142 people. Over the next nine years, he perfected his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices and the basic cooking technique that is still used today.
Sander's fame grew. Governor Ruby Laffoon made him a Kentucky Colonel in 1935 in recognition of his contributions to the state's cuisine. And in 1939, his establishment was first listed in Duncan Hines' "Adventures in Good Eating."
In the early 1950s a new interstate highway was planned to bypass the town of Corbin. Seeing an end to his business, the Colonel auctioned off his operations. After paying his bills, he was reduced to living on his $105 Social Security checks.
Confident of the quality of his fried chicken, the Colonel devoted himself to the chicken franchising business that he started in 1952. He traveled across the country by car from restaurant to restaurant, cooking batches of chicken for restaurant owners and their employees. If the reaction was favorable, he entered into a handshake agreement on a deal that stipulated a payment to him of a nickel for each chicken the restaurant sold. By 1964, Colonel Sanders had more than 600 franchised outlets for his chicken in the United States and Canada. That year, he sold his interest in the U.S. Company for $2 million to a group of investors including John Y. Brown Jr., who later was governor of Kentucky from 1980 to 1984. The Colonel remained a public spokesman for the company. In 1976, an independent survey ranked the Colonel as the world's second most recognizable celebrity.
Under the new owners, Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation grew rapidly. It went public on March 17, 1966, and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange on January 16, 1969. More than 3,500 franchised and company-owned restaurants were in worldwide operation when Heublein Inc. acquired KFC Corporation on July 8, 1971, for $285 million.
Kentucky Fried Chicken became a subsidiary of R.J. Reynolds Industries, Inc. (now RJR Nabisco, Inc.), when Reynolds acquired Heublein Inc. in 1982. PepsiCo, Inc., acquired KFC in October 1986 from RJR NABISCO, INC. for approximately $840 million.
In January 1997, PepsiCo, Inc. announced the spin-off of its quick service restaurants -- KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut -- into an independent restaurant company, Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. In May 2002, the company announced it received shareholders' approval to change its corporation name to Yum! Brands, Inc. The company, which owns A&W All-American Food Restaurants, KFC, Long John Silvers, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants, is the world's largest restaurant company in terms of system units with nearly 32,500 in more than 100 countries and territories.
Until he was fatally stricken with leukemia in 1980 at the age of 90, the Colonel traveled 250,000 miles a year visiting the KFC restaurants around the world.

 Social Responsibility
Antibiotic Use in Food Animals
KFC recognizes that the use of antibiotics in food animals and the possible link to antibiotic resistant bacteria is a complex topic without easy resolution. Use of antibiotics is important to human health, and also important to maintaining the health and welfare of food animals. Preventing disease in food animals translates into a safer product for humans. The use of antibiotics is established by sound science, veterinary expertise, and well-defined regulatory parameters. All antibiotics must be used in accordance with FDA requirements and under the supervision of a veterinarian. KFC's policy prohibits the use of any antibiotic that is significant to human health when used for the purpose of growth promotion. Our policy is enforced through an annual supplier certification process. The KFC Animal Welfare Council supports the judicious use of antibiotics for food animals, under veterinary supervision, to cure or prevent disease, in amounts, which are within federal guidelines.

INFLUENZA 
Nothing is more important to us than food quality and safety.
Like others, we are closely monitoring the Avian Flu situation around the globe, and have mobilized a team to proactively contingency plan in case we have to address this issue. We are working with our suppliers, government officials and restaurant teams to safeguard our food supply.
Importantly, the World Health Organization has said properly cooked chicken is perfectly safe to eat, and all our food is cooked at a high temperature to ensure it is safe and free of Avian Flu.
Can you get Avian Flu from eating cooked chicken?
No. According to the World Health Organization, you cannot get the flu from eating properly cooked chicken.
What is Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)?
Bird Flu is an infection caused by Avian (Bird) Influenza (Flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, Bird Flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them.
How does Bird Flu spread?
Infected birds shed flu virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces. Susceptible birds become infected when they have contact with contaminated excretions or surfaces that are contaminated with excretions. It is believed that most cases of Bird Flu infection in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces. The spread of Avian Influenza viruses from one ill person to another has been reported very rarely, and transmission has not been observed to continue beyond one person.
Do Bird Flu viruses infect humans?
Bird Flu viruses do not usually infect humans, but several cases of human infection with Bird Flu viruses have occurred since 1997.
What is an Avian Influenza A virus?
Influenza is a virus. A virus subtype that occurs mainly in birds. Like all Bird Flu viruses, the virus circulates among birds worldwide, is very contagious among birds, and can be deadly.
