Walmart, Carrefour fined over sale of expired food

WALMART China and Carrefour China both apologized for selling expired food in their outlets in Changsha, the capital of central China's Hunan Province.

The Changsha Administration for Industry and Commerce is investigating two local Walmart and Carrefour stores after receiving consumer complaints that expired frozen rice dumplings were sold there, the Economic Information reported today.

Officials said the suppliers altered the production date on the products to prolong their shelf life.

The administration has confiscated the expired products and ordered the suppliers to refund the buyers 10 times of the money they paid.

Walmart China and Carrefour China were also fined 10,000 yuan (US$1,567) each for turning a blind eye to the illegal practice.
