Global fast food giant KFC says it is halting its "Finger Lickin’ Good" slogan given the current hygiene advice because of the coronavirus pandemic.

國際速食巨擘肯德基表示，它正停用「吮指美味」標語，考量現在因為武漢肺炎大流行而制定的衛生建議。

"We find ourselves in a unique situation - having an iconic slogan that doesn’t quite fit in the current environment," the company said.

「我們發現自己在一個獨特的狀況中，有個不太符合現在環境的標誌性標語」，該公司表示。

The company revealed its new look through a YouTube video, showing the slogan pixelated on posters and its food "buckets", saying： "That thing we always say? Ignore it. For now."

該公司透過YouTube影片公開它的新包裝，印製在海報與「食物桶」上的標語說，「我們總是說的話？忽略它。現在」。

Some people commented on social media the slogan was not a health hazard as you were already eating with your own hands.

有些人在社群媒體上評論，認為在你已經用自己的雙手進食的時候，這個標語不算是健康危害。

In March, the Advertising Standards Authority received 163 complaints about a KFC TV advert which featured people licking their fingers.

3月間，廣告標準局就接到163封投訴，針對肯德基以人們吸吮他們的手指為特色的電視廣告。

McDonald’s to debut plant-based meat alternatives from 2021 麥當勞將於2021年首度推出植物性肉類替代品

McDonald’s will debut its line of plant-based meat alternatives - the McPlant - in 2021.

麥當勞將於2021年首度推出它的植物性肉類替代品品牌「McPlant」。

"Beyond Meat and McDonald’s co-created the plant-based patty which will be available as part of their McPlant platform," a Beyond Meat spokesperson said.

「超越肉類與麥當勞共同創造了植物性漢堡肉排，將以McPlant平台的一部分供應」，超越肉類的發言人表示。

"Plant-based products are an ongoing consumer trend. It’s not a matter of if McDonald’s will get into plant-based, it’s a matter of when," McDonald’s chief executive officer Chris Kempczinski said.

「植物性產品是目前的消費趨勢，問題不是麥當勞是否會進軍植物性產品，而是何時進軍」，麥當勞的執行長肯普欽斯基說。

McDonald’s competition - other brands including Burger King, White Castle and Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc - also offer vegan alternatives.

麥當勞的競爭對手，漢堡王、白城堡，與Dunkin’品牌集團等品牌都有提供素食替代品。

This move from McDonald’s is expected to place the plant-based meat movement at the forefront in mainstream American society.

麥當勞此舉有望將植物性肉類運動，置於美國社會主流的最前線。
