WAL-MART, the world's largest retailer, has apologized for selling expired duck meat in a store in Chongqing Municipality.
The Yangjiaping store in Jiulongpo District was caught by a local market regulator selling smoked tea ducks using duck meat that had passed the expiry dates.
The Chongqing Administration for Industry and Commerce received a complaint on -February 28, which said the local Wal-Mart sold expired ducks after frying them.
In a statement to the municipal consumer's association, Wal-Mart said it will pay anyone who bought the ducks 10 times the amount they paid between February 5 and 28.
The retailer also asked all stores to check inspection, storage, production and sales processes to ensure food safety and promised to severely punish at fault management and staff for dereliction of duty.
It is another embarrassing scandal for Wal-Mart, who had earlier been found over-stating discounts by inflating pre-discounted prices or charging more at check outs than what was labeled or advertised on products.
