Food recall in China

Global retail giant Wal-Mart Stores has recalled a donkey meat product from some Chinese stores after tests found traces of other animals' DNA, the company said Thursday, after authorities said it contained fox meat.

The world's largest retailer will reimburse customers who bought the "Five Spice Donkey Meat" 50 yuan ($8.25), a spokeswoman told AFP.

The company would also independently DNA test all of its "high risk" meats in China, a procedure which is not required by retailers under Chinese food laws, the spokeswoman said.

Wal-Mart would also cooperate with food officials in the eastern province of Shandong with their probe into the "adulteration incident", said a statement posted on Sina Weibo, a Chinese Twitter equivalent.

The Shandong Food and Drug Administration had previously said the "Five Spice Donkey Meat" product contained fox.

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

It's not like they can pack it up and take it back with them.

I've always wondered about that. What would happen if they wanted their money back, all of a sudden.
