WAL-MART, the world's largest retailer, has apologized for selling expired duck meat at a store in southwest China's Chongqing City.
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 from a consumer on February 28, saying the Yangjiaping Wal-Mart store was selling expired ducks after frying them.
In a statement to the municipal consumer association, Wal-Mart said it will compensate the duck buyers 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 some management and staff for dereliction of duty.
It also offered an apology to consumers and vowed to avoid a repeat of such incidents.
