Remember when last February? Or when a threatened to destroy bananas globally? Well, just two days into 2014, Wal-mart stores in China have recalled “Five Spice” donkey meat after .
This is disconcerting news because donkey meat (without fox meat in it) is actually popular in China, relatively speaking. In 2011, China slaughtered 2.4 million donkeys, according to country’s industry yearbook.
Wal-Mart, which operates more than 400 facilities in China, refunded those who may have purchased the tainted meat when the Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained the DNA of other animals. The company is now investigating the Chinese supplier and hopes to create more stringent food safety regulation overseas.
We wonder: about all this?
