Tastes Like A**: Walmart Donkey Meat Recall in China is Another Hit on Retail Giant’s Image

Wal-Mart’s “5 Spice” donkey meat has been recalled in China today after “other” animal DNA was found in it. The Shandong FDA said that in an earlier incident the meat contained fox DNA.

Walmart officials are assisting food and industry agencies track down the problem with local suppliers, but in the meantime, Walmart’s reputation is slipping with this second incident of tainted or mislabeled meat. For Walmart, image is everything in the world’s largest grocery market, where an estimated $1.5 trillion in profits is anticipated by the end of 2016.

Donkey meat, while being a common snack in China, only accounts for a small percentage of total meat consumption. Only 2.4 million donkeys were slaughtered in 2011.
