1 Audit. I have not a 9 myself, but it is appendix 9.
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is largely a series of pages which look
4 like that.
5
6 MS. STEEL: What page is it?
7
8 MR. RAMPTON: 524. I do not know why it is 524 but it is in my
9 version. Maybe it is in some other file, In-store Food
10 Quality Audit. Everybody has it now. (To the witness):
11 What is this document, Mr. Kenny?
12 A. This is a document produced by my department for use
13 when visiting McDonald's restaurants.
14
15 Q. You mean you take this form with you or what do you do?
16 A. Yes, we take the form with us and complete it during a
17 full day audit in a restaurant. It is an audit, basically,
18 on the raw materials.
19
20 Q. How often do you do these restaurant audits?
21 A. These are done approximately one a month.
22
23 Q. Do you mean in every restaurant in the country or one

35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So really you are auditing your suppliers
37 rather than the ---
38 A. Exactly.
39
40 Q. -- the restaurant operation?
41 A. The suppliers in the distribution chain, yes.
42
43 MR. RAMPTON: We can see that it checks things like temperature,
44 shelf life dates, whatever you call them, and so on and so
45 forth, does it not?
46 A. Yes.
47
48 Q. There is one other document -- I am not going to take you
49 through that document, Mr. Kenny, you will be pleased to
50 hear -- have you still the pink file to hand? Turn to
51 tab 10A, please. It goes back, Mr. Kenny, to something
52 I was asking you about right at the beginning of your
53 evidence. It calls itself a Delivery Acceptance Record
54 headed jointly "McDonald's" and "Golden West Foods".
55 Section one, it says, to be completed by GWF, is that
56 Golden West Foods?
57 A. Correct.

59 Q. Prior to vehicle departure. It says store name, store
60 number, date, journey number, trailer number. What do the
