KFC Recipe Temporarily Relocated by Magdalena Rosova

For the first time KFC has removed handwritten recipe of 11 herbs and spices of Colonel Harland Sanders. This yellowing sheet of paper contains one of the most famous corporate secrets of the country.

In spite of the tight security which followed the operation, the top executive said he was completely nervous.

KFC President Roger Eaton said "I don't want to be the president who loses the recipe. Imagine how terrifying that would be."

KFC placed the recipe in a lock box handcuffed to security expert Bo Dietl who traveled in armored car that disappeared with a police officers escort. Temporarily the recipe was relocated to a secret place.

Only two company executives know the original recipe and none knows their names. Many suppliers produce and blend ingredients but know only a part of the entire recipe.

For more than 20 years the recipe has been hidden in a company’s cabinet with two combination locks.

Many have tried to make a copy of the recipe, but no one managed to do so. Time to time someone claims he has a copy of Sanders creation as well.

Sanders developed the recipe in 1940 at his small restaurant in Kentucky and founded the KFC chain in the early 1950s.

A restaurant analyst, Larry Miller said the recipe „is part of that important brand image that helps differentiate the KFC product."

In 2007 KFC had 14,892 locations all over the world. The chain has strong sales overseas, especially in China. However they struggle in U.S. because of a more health-conscious public.
