Walmart's Latest Chinese Food Scandal: Diluting Ass With Fox
"We are deeply sorry for this whole affair," said Wal-Mart's China president after the world's largest retailer recalled donkey meat sold at some outlets in China after tests showed the product contained the DNA of other animals - including fox. "It is a deep lesson (for us) that we need to continue to increase investment in supplier management," repeat-offender Wal-Mart added as Reuters reports the tainted "five-spice" donkey meat may mean "wealthy shoppers will start to lose the trust [in Wal-Mart's brand] they had before." Donkey meat is a popular snack in some areas of China, but as one bemused customer noted, oddly, "Isn't fox meat more expensive than donkey meat anyway?"
Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's largest retailer, has recalled donkey meat sold at some outlets in China after tests showed the product contained the DNA of other animals, the U.S. company said.
Wal-Mart will reimburse customers who bought the tainted "Five Spice" donkey meat and is helping local food and industry agencies in eastern Shandong province investigate its Chinese supplier, it said late on Wednesday in official posts on China's Twitter-like Weibo. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained fox meat.
The scandal could dent Wal-Mart's reputation for quality in China's $1 trillion food and grocery market where it plans to open 110 new stores in the next few years.
...
This is another hit on Wal-Mart's brand, meaning wealthy shoppers will start to lose the trust they had before," said Shaun Rein, Shanghai-based managing director of China Market Research (CMR) Group. CMR estimates Wal-Mart's market share fell from 7.5 percent to 5.2 percent over the last three years.
Donkey meat is a popular snack in some areas of China
...
"We are deeply sorry for this whole affair," said Wal-Mart's China president and CEO, Greg Foran. "It is a deep lesson (for us) that we need to continue to increase investment in supplier management."
The U.S. retailer has had a troubled past in China. In 2011, China fined Wal-Mart, along with Carrefour, a combined 9.5 million yuan ($1.57 million) for manipulating product prices. Wal-Mart was also fined that year in China for selling duck meat past its expiry date.

FOX is always full of "donkeys". but first time "donkey is mixed with "FOX"
OK so they have admitted to Fox being in there. SO what are they to afraid to admit is actually in there with it??
Fox and dogs have very similar DNA.
Duh!
If you didn't raise it, butcher it, and cook it, then you don't really know what it is that you are eating.
Last weekend, we roasted some of our young cocks in front of the fireplace, and served them with Texas rice and cauliflower from our garden.
haha how synchronic

In a society that is known to eat dog, does this really matter?
and why is eating a dog any worse than eating a chicken or a lamb or a cow or a donkey or a fox?
The point is - 'they' are lying to us...AGAIN.
.
Go ahead and eat bat soup, just dont tell us afterwards that the meat is chicken...
indeed. but who's "they" and who's "us"?
do these categories have particular societal & cultural characteristics or are they much broader?
"They" are "us"

Donkey tastes like mutton, and fox tastes like hedgehog.
Any Chinaman knowns this.
Happy New Year, bitchez!
Ass, fox, pussy, any small rodent, just remember shave first before ingest.

Roadkill caaserole...beaver and opossum and raccoon and squirell and...where did I see that. Hmm Simpsons with the irrepressible Cletus feeding his vast horde of off-spring?
No thanks..... I'll stick with my Foxy Ass... I'm "gung ho" for that "phat chow"!!!!
What the hell kind of animal is Goofy anyway?
Exactly ... gather up any dead thing you can find, add five spices to cover up the taste, call it donkey, and the Chinese will eat it.
Probably the five-spice donkey has included some random-burger since the Song dynasty, but prior to bourgeois DNA testing, no one was the wiser.
This is why flu viruses can recombine so readily to create nascent lethal forms potentially causing millions of deaths worldwide. Vaccines against these strains probably won't be effective until after many have died. So many different animals living in unsanitary conditions makes for viral heaven. Look for the next world pandemic to originate in this region.
Miffed;-)
When you teach a chicken and a cow to fetch my slippers I will eat dog.
Pets are food when the SHTF until then I will think of fido as family not protein.
Dogs have personality. Personality goes a long way.
I couldn't eat a carnivore...but I have found in my experience that dogs--not all but most--are slavelike clods that refuse to wash themselves. As a cute bonus, some of them literally eat feces.
What about fish?
Dupe - got excited about Pulp Fiction reference
Hows About Some Skunk Nuggets To Go Along
With That "Five Spice" donkey meat, Mr. Chow???
I'm thinking fox was a cover for humans. The tests say whatever they are told to say not what actually was.
Good God think of the savings! All they have to do is legislate no more testing.
Think smaller, and more legs.
Soylent Chink?
Yeah I said it!
Don't say 'chinks', say 'chinese restaurant'.
'Chinks' is bigoted.
Yeah I'm sorry us krauts don't have a filter. I should correct it to Soylent Yellow.
You're a square head? Me too.
Should have guessed from your name.
I'm not square, I've been told I'm pretty hip.
What are you raycis or somethin?
Here's the reference (short clip):

Hadn't seen that before. I thought you were going to reference "square heads". I've never heard the term before. I must have cabbage for brains.
EDIT - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squarehead
I'm SO offended! Oh wait, I'm not. I'm not a thin skinned pussy who can't take a little raysizm. I'm an equal opportunity offender. Doesn't change how I treat individuals.
So what about your Wiz Chicken Plucker ???
It will pluck three chickens clean in under ten seconds. Anyone can build a Whizbang chicken plucker!
* No chickens were actually harmed during these pluckings !!!
Thanks for the link. I've been kinda curious about building a plucker.

another reason to avoid all processed foods, especially meat. there is no telling what these corrupt companies will use as ingredients to increase profits.
Makes you wonder if that shank you get from Smithfield foods is actually pork!
Just look for "Long Pig" on the label.
pods
I thought it may be labeled "Junk in the trunk roast" for the Amurikan marketplace.
Did you think those floating pig carcasses went to waste? You know some company bought them cheap, then found a way to hide them in some processed food product.
I'd be very wary of suasages, spam or any kind of mystery meat. Unless you are like Hedgeless and you grow your own.
Ah, ah, there go those Chinese 'asian' Citizenism citizens, blobbing-up the carnivory offuscational means once again, same story as always. Wokking the dog and calling it an ass. Made me laugh.
But hey, when the Chinese citizenism fox is guarding the henhouse, might as well consumptionalize the cat is out of the bag and call it a hypocritizenistic job well done.
Alas, alas, five spice donkeys alas, just have to (eat) bear with it.
Alas, alas, three gorges clogged by river pigs alas, Chinese citizenism offuscational denialry has served well onto this point, but limitions of capacitance are reaching precipitously. While General Tso woks his dog, kittens are coming home to roast.
The last Chinese citizenism citizen on Earth could be a parangon of one's own genre, denying that the crusty bits he eats from a lizard tail are reptilicious.
But hey, history, ethics, idealism, mettle. All is flexible, and tasty with a spicy ginger sauce, in Chinese citizenism.
Ah, ah, butt as Confucious say, "a journey of a thousand roadside squattings begins with a single wokked dog in spicy ginger sauce."
I swear, if you two would dress up like coolees, you would have one helluva comedy routine! :>D

Alas, alas, toss in one more alas, absenceing of original ananonymous Chinese Citizenism scrapegoat of inspirationalized mirth making grow pain in the many places of humor skeleton structures, feeling of. Leading to eventualized staleness of mockerys of citizenism, nonsense within trending toward the downside. Same story as the Nights of Saturday Living, years ago already.
But hey, the eternal nature of US 'comedian' Citizenism being what it was, can only kick the can of citizenism satire while extruding blame through the posterior and stick to the road that he is on. Just need to avoid the sides of it --- very messy, very crusty, new world odor blobbing-up to infinitude of pervading wokked dog fecal rankness of fabled Middle Kingdom past and present.

Ah, ah, diligent the rememberments on this: no tickee, no funnee.
HH, you're a renaissance man.
Did you make that chicken plucker?
Yes. The little horsemen helped me. The hardest part is pulling all of the rubber plucking fingers through the holes.
If you like your chicken plucker, can you keep it?
It is really only a convenience. We plucked by hand for years. Either way, the secret is to scald the bird at 150 degrees for 25 seconds.

Goddamn. That looks tasty. I'd love to get the flying screaming fuck out of LA Matrix Town, light my Social Security Number on fire and eat food made for humans grown by myself and my gorgeous wife. We can't wait to make it happen.

Fox: the other ass meat.
What does the fox say?
He hawww
I'd be disturbed too if there was fox in my ass...which begs the question:
"What Did The Fox Say?"
What did the Fox say again?
I am offended that they would eat donkey, instead of using the local donkey in a show with some young, up and coming girls.
Foxxy Ass! Yeah!
I swear they'll eat anything that walks, slithers, or crawls. I'm not sure which category melamine falls into.
nutritional supplemant for infants!
Essential laminates ?
Right next to minerals in the Chinese food triangle.
In my book anyone that eats a dog......is an asshole.

Mmmmm, Commie Chow!
'Waiter! This fox tastes like ass!' 'Sorry sir, there was a mixup at the supplier...' After the horse meat fiasco in the EU and meat recalls here in the US, is there any commercial meat that's safe? I'll stick to buying a 1/2 side locally...
As tensions with the US increase given Obama's pivot to Asia and support for Japan, I would be surprised if Walmart sales in China do not fall at double-digit rates. Look at what is happening to US technology sales in China due to NSA spying - many technology company sales are down 20% and IBM was the only stock in the Dow to fall last year thanks to its China sales.
Wait until they find human DNA..............

This is another hit on Wal-Mart's brand, meaning wealthy shoppers will start to lose the trust they had before," ...
This is the scary part of indian and chinese consumers, they are so limited in their thinking, or blinded by their low sense of self-worth, they believe that white trash brands (McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, KFC, WalMart, etc.) are luxury goods!
IDIOTS!

Soylent Green not far away now - too many damn people.
the problem isn't too many people, it's how people choose to live. it's our lifestyle that is killing us, not life itself.
But it is our lifestyle which is producing too many people!
nothing new, back in 1960 I worked for A&P trucker, we would get 40lb frozen boxes from Australia, contents kangaroo meat - I asked WTF and was told we mix it in the hamberger, tasted ok don't know if they still export Kangaroo, gotta be better than donkey fortified with rodent meat, No?
Roo is actually pretty good, bit of a mild deer-like venison taste in my opinion. Pretty common thing here in Oz, cheap and tasty. Never saw it for sale anywhere back when I lived in the USSA, even the specialty butchers. Try it if you can find it.
People here in the US are jumpy about trying something new.
Unless it's gadget-related, of course --- then they hop right to it.
OK after that one, I gotta bounce.
Ah, the US 'american' consumer --- always ready to take a leap of faith and spring for the latest mass-marketed, Chinese-made electronic gadget!
Make me laugh.
good point.
Won't work. American's are already spoiled.
So, was it the tiny Rib-eye steaks that finally tipped them off? Good thing they didn't go with squirrel or it would have been spotted right away. Best to keep fox meat in the hamburger hopper with the lemurs and cats.
I'm guessing they'll relabel it to "furburger"?
We have that in my village but we call it "dog food".
Why all the fuss?
Sounds fuckin delicious compared to what goes in a meat pie.
And I'll eat a dogs eye (as they're known down here) any day.
Ever washed the contents of a meat pie through a sieve?
Don't.
Further reason to fuel my New Years resolution to go 90% vegetarian and organic. I look forward to the spring garden we are building. Compost pile is already started and we plan on raising potatoes, carrots, cabbage, eggplant, bitcoin and iceberg lettuce.
avoiding the mainstream food supply really is the only answer.
that's the plan

haven't had a foxy ass in awhile. what are the chinese complaining about?
I went into a Walmart several months ago and the placed smelled like ass.
stop going to walmart, you, your family, this country and mother nature will be the better for not going.
I go once a year just to smell the ass.
I've seen many a fox with a great ass.
I thought that ass tasted funny.
I bought some bologna, sliced off a hunk and a maggot crawled out of the chunk I sliced off. Just at the right spot, I suppose. You just never know, you know.
In America, in River City.
Upton Sinclair wrote about it all a long time ago.

I think half of those Walmart fatties on scooters end up in those bulk tubes of hamburg they sell.
Fox is always a little more accessible when you add a little ass. Walmart marketing goof?
wow.. this reply went to the wrong spot.....
This story isn't just funny, it is dynamically funny.
This is like walking into a room and every time you turn and look at something different it just gets funnier.
a comedian would pick up a story like this and think, "What have I stumbled upon?"
hopefully they start testing for human dna, that would be an interesting set of results.
"Isn't fox meat more expensive than donkey meat anyway?"
Roadkill
In QE la la land, if you don't want to dilute the price, you have to dilute the product.
+100
A worker in the freezer where they throw the donkey meat into the grinder was wearing a coat with a fox-fur collar when they fell into the grinder. That's my hypothesis.
Donkey Fox season already. How time fries...
I lived for a while in a rural agricultural area of a 3rd world country. About every six months a large truck from a meat processor would come through buying any animal that could be proded up the ramp. The sausage from the company was surprisingly tasty.
Walmart is having the same effect on the US agricultural system and helping to destroy it just as it did with US-based manufacturing in the ever relentless pursuit of greater economies of scale.
Given that they now have over 20% of the market share of US groceries (did that in less than 15 years) and climbing any policy they put in place will have dramatic effects on downstream food production. One of the things you are seeing as a result is more and more importation of food from abroad into the US as a result and it is only a matter of time before you see processed pork and chicken from China imported into the US.
No single company or individual has done more to destroy US economy and brought more misery than Walmart. It really is evil.
Arkansas produced the Clintons. I visited Little Rock a few years ago, swung down to the Clinton Library, stood in the parking lot and double middle finger flip the occupants off.
I almost got killed driving through the metro. Little Rock has the highest proportion of retarded drivers in the USA.
Can not imagine that Wallmarts neck of the woods would be different.
Anyone who buys any meat product at WalMart is nuts especially any kind of meat product that is a mixture of components including hamburger and sausage. In general, anyoe who buys those products from a US supermaket or a large commerical brand is just asking for trouble.
There is a reason that the meat at Walmart is especially red (dye they constantly inject so it wouldn't be either a light/dark grey depending upon the cut of meat and its age). Plus they also use filler byproduct in a ton of products or carry brands that do. Also have a nasty history and some fines to boot of using an ammonia mix to wash down the meat to remove the rotting smell & keep it on the shelves.
Funny thing is just how absolutely little/nothing people know about the meat they eat. I am not a vegeterian/vegan and people should be able to eat what they want but there is very little red meat that I would purchase and/or eat from a major US supermarket or commerical brand.
People think that makes me a 'snob' but then I tell them why I don't (besides the health reasons) and it has changed several friends/family members eating habits.
Ditto purchasing a burger from any fast food chain. Just order a cheeseburger from McDonald's next time, wait for it cool, and look at it closely. It doesn't even remotely look like hamburger that comes out of grinder should. If you let it sit out, it doesn't grow bacteria/mold on it either nearly as quickly as an actual 100% beef product should. Horrifying really.
A highs school friend in college who was in agri science at University of Delaware broke down a Big Mac once and there were definitely products & chemicals in there beyond meat filler too. Even the biochem professor he had was horrified.
hunt, shoot, process.... way more tasty...
I wish the Walton founders family ate from their own store.

I've never had a desire to eat dog. Really though, if you eat meat, and the animal was killed humanely, I don't see how it is ethically any different from eating any other animal. I have to wonder how many people there who eat dog were horrified at the scene? I've sure noticed that most people here have lost touch with where their food comes from. And I've heard stories of dogs being skinned while still alive, which is way, way worse than killing one and butchering it.
List of non-commercial meats I have tried, not counting fish:
(Wild) Duck
(Wild) Goose
Quail
Dove
Pigeon
Meadowlark (Hey, it was in with a covey of quail.)
Deer
Elk
Antelope (Pronghorn)
Oryx
Barbary Sheep
Squirrel
Jackrabbit
Cottontail
French Lop
Rattlesnake
With each and every one of those, I knew exactly what I was eating, because I either killed it myself, or I knew the person who did. Funny thing is, I'll eat rattlesnake, but will say no to dog.
How does the fox taste?
Yummy yum yum yum yum yee yum
Like chicken.
Vegetarian. Seriously
Food fraud is only going to increase. Look it is the job of every CEO in the food industry to get all your money and give you nothing in return thereby maximising shareholder value. It is their job to sell you air and water if they can get away with it. You think for a second they will stop at mixing in a bit of roadkill? No, they are going to be digging up graves next.
