KFC bolsters security - for secret recipe
 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Pssst. The secret's out at KFC. Well, sort of. Colonel Harland Sanders' handwritten recipe of 11 herbs and spices was to be removed Tuesday from safekeeping at KFC's corporate offices for the first time in decades. The temporary relocation is allowing KFC to revamp security around a yellowing sheet of paper that contains one of the country's most famous corporate secrets.

The brand's top executive admitted his nerves were aflutter despite the tight security he lined up for the operation.

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

So important is the 68-year-old concoction that coats the chain's Original Recipe chicken that only two company executives at any time have access to it. The company refuses to release their name or title, and it uses multiple suppliers who produce and blend the ingredients but know only a part of the entire contents.

- amazing first that they had to actually made CNN news that they were moving a piece of paper, but come on - someone has to think, "what would this be worth if we stole it?". A huge company like this would pay in the billions to keep it secret - where in the world is the Pink Panther anyways?

Just move the paper to Area 51 and be done with it
