Wal-Marts shut

THE government of Chongqing City has shut down 10 Wal-Mart stores that have been accused of fraudulently selling ordinary pork as organic pork, local officials said yesterday. The 10 Wal-Mart stores and two other stores that were acquired by Wal-Mart are accused of selling 63,547 kilograms of falsely labeled pork over the past two years, said Huang Bo, director of the Chongqing Administration of Industry and Commerce. The city has fined the stores 2.69 million yuan, Huang said, adding that Wal-Mart has been punished 21 times since 2006, when the company entered Chongqing, for exaggerated advertising and selling expired and substandard food.
