Wal-Mart accused of cheating
In November, Wal-Mart was ordered to close stores and pay a fine of 2.69 million yuan ($423,000) after some of its stores were found to be selling ordinary pork labeled as more expensive organic meat.
Previously, the super chain store “apologized” to customers on its official website, saying it will investigate the case and correct mistakes without any practical measures about how it would compensate customers for their loss.
Since the beginning of this year, more than 1,000 kilograms of ordinary pork were sold as green pork, which is manufactured in line with rigorous production standards and sold at a higher price, at three of Wal-Mart's outlets in Chongqing, according to the municipal market watchdog.
