Badlands Bob #61228 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Walmart has recalled donkey meat sold at some of its China stores after tests showed the meat contained DNA from other animals. According to Reuters, Walmart said it had set up an investigation team to look into the incident, will strengthen its food safety rules and will take legal action against the supplier. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained fox meat. The person in charge at the supplier factory has been detained, the report said. Walmart will reimburse customers who bought the "Five Spice" donkey meat. "We are deeply sorry for this whole affair," Walmart's China president and CEO, Greg Foran, said. "It is a deep lesson (for us) that we need to continue to increase investment in supplier management." Donkey meat is popular in some parts of China, although it only accounts for a tiny fraction of overall meat consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Look around Walmart (or Aldi or Ingles, any other grocer for that matter) in the seafood department and see where the salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi etc and so forth come from. Local Piggly Wiggly runs meat specials. All of which comes from Mexico. FDA in all it's glory can't get things right. Now we're dependngon second-third world countries to provide nutritious and safe food. I don't think so. Seriously, has it come to this? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/15/world/asia/15fish.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 And this goes for any farm fish from anywhere: http://www.rodalenews.com/salmon-farming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Well, that was the problem. It wasn't "complete ass". It was part fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't at anything that isn't from the USA, mostly from ranches I know I'm glad they export it to China. I probably consumed quite a bit of it in my grade school cafeteria as mystery meat. The Chinese are saving today's school children from the same fate.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hey EC! Do you really think I'm that prudish or fuddy duddish? Don't answer that. The Wire is the Wire and Saloons are Saloons. Gotta be more PC here. BTW I lived 40 years in an area of downtown Sacramento that was called Chinatown. I didn't know that until after I retired and after about 35 years living there, when I saw a former co-worker (last name Yee) at the Chinese market. He asked me what I was doing. I said getting (take out) baked bows; I live right there (sorta kitty corner). He said, "I didn't know you lived in Chinatown. Gee, neither did I. However, there were clues and I should have known. I will share one. One of my non-Chinese neighbors found what looked like a boiled dog head in the gutter in front of his house. He found it strange.

Yul Lose Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I can't tell you how much money we've paid to the vet for treating our dogs that ate treats we got from Costco that were made in China. Now Mrs. Lose makes all of their dog food and treats. I think they eat better than we do sometimes, and yes I have sampled their food and it's pretty good.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Texas Lizard, Hubby fixed an outlet for one of our neighbors and they invited him for lunch. He told me they had the baby squid that looked like it was crawling through a salad. Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
