Read our privacy policy Chinese branches of Wal-Mart have been forced to recall batches of donkey meat after it was found to contain fox. The US company has apologised and said it would reimburse shoppers in China who bought the “Five Spice” donkey product, which tests showed contained the DNA of other animals. “It is a deep lesson that we need to continue to increase investment in supplier management.” Shaun Rein, the Shanghai-based managing director of China Market Research Group, told Reuters: “This is another hit on Wal-Mart's brand, meaning wealthy shoppers will start to lose the trust they had before.” Donkey meat is popular in China, though makes up a tiny proportion of all meat products consumed.
