Chinese Donkey Meat Recalled at Wal-Mart After it is Found to Contain Fox

Headline of the day ....

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.

According to local news reports, the problem was first brought to the attention of food standards officials when a customer, identified only by his surname Wang, found the so-called donkey meat looked, smelled and tasted strange.

He sent the product to a testing institute, and the Shandong Food and Drug Administration later announced that it contained fox meat.

Wal-Mart said it has launched an investigation into the incident, adding that the manager at a supplier’s factory had already been detained.

“We are deeply sorry for this whole affair,” said Wal-Mart's China president and CEO, Greg Foran. “It is a deep lesson that we need to continue to increase investment in supplier management.”

For a long time there was a den of foxes living in the little bit of woods left in the Holy Cross Cemetery property in East Hill.
About a year ago, I was riding down Blount St early going to the first yard sales that were opening. When I got to the corner of 12th Ave and Blount, there was a fox running down the middle of 12th Ave with a housecat in it's mouth. I had to do a double take but after I rubbed my eyes it was still there.

For those who don't live in P'Cola, this is all right in the middle of an urban area.

A friend of mine was hunting in east Texas and stopped at a cabin in the middle of the woods for directions. He said there was an old man in the front yard cooking meat in a frying pan over a charcoal grill. He asked what kind of meat it was.The old guy said it was hawk. This blew his mind and then he asked what it tasted like. The old man said, "Well, sonny, it tastes kinda like owl."

So the Chinese like donkey.

Well look at it this way yella, a little bit of ass once in a while never hurt anyone.

They had to have an American company come over to sell them the stuff they manufacture in China?

I never buy meat at Walmart. The last time I did a couple of years ago (hamburger) it had a smell that I can't describe. I threw it out.

That's something else... I wondered if a fox could take down or would take down a cat. They aren't much bigger.
