Proof that Walmart meat tastes like ass

I wonder what the fox says now.....

We really should petition to have them bring donkey meat to Denver. There has to be a huge market for it there!

Wal-Mart recalls donkey product in China after fox meat scandal

SHANGHAI Thu Jan 2, 2014 5:11am EST

(Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc, the world's largest retailer, has recalled donkey meat sold at some outlets in China after tests showed the product contained the DNA of other animals, the U.S. company said.

Wal-Mart will reimburse customers who bought the tainted "Five Spice" donkey meat and is helping local food and industry agencies in eastern Shandong province investigate its Chinese supplier, it said late on Wednesday in official posts on China's Twitter-like Weibo. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained fox meat.

The scandal could dent Wal-Mart's reputation for quality in China's $1 trillion food and grocery market where it plans to open 110 new stores in the next few years. China is the largest grocery market in the world and is set to grow to $1.5 trillion by 2016, according to the Institute of Grocery Distribution.

"This is another hit on Wal-Mart's brand, meaning wealthy shoppers will start to lose the trust they had before," said Shaun Rein, Shanghai-based managing director of China Market Research (CMR) Group. CMR estimates Wal-Mart's market share fell from 7.5 percent to 5.2 percent over the last three years.

Donkey meat is a popular snack in some areas of China, although it only accounts for a tiny fraction of overall meat consumption. In 2011 China slaughtered 2.4 million donkeys, according to country's livestock industry yearbook.

Wal-Mart, French grocer Carrefour SA, McDonald's Corp and KFC-parent Yum Brands Inc among others, have come under fire before in China over food safety issues, a sensitive topic in a country riddled with scares from a fatal tainted milk scandal to recycled "gutter oil" used for cooking.

Wal-Mart said it had set up an investigation team to look into the incident, would strengthen food safety rules and take legal action against the product supplier. It added the person in charge at the supplier 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 (for us) that we need to continue to increase investment in supplier management."

The U.S. retailer has had a troubled past in China. In 2011, China fined Wal-Mart, along with Carrefour, a combined 9.5 million yuan ($1.57 million) for manipulating product prices. Wal-Mart was also fined that year in China for selling duck meat past its expiry date.

Food safety scandals can have a significant impact in China. Yum has struggled to recover sales in China more than a year after a chicken supplier to KFC in the country was found to have used excess levels of antibiotics. Analysts, though, said the impact of the current scare would be far more subdued.

Wal-Mart, which operates more than 400 facilities in China, competes with market leaders Sun Art Retail Group Ltd and China Resources Enterprise Ltd, which in August teamed up with British retailer Tesco Plc.

Consumers on popular microblogging site Sina Weibo were at a loss whether to criticize Wal-Mart or support it. Online sentiment can spread quickly in China where there is a high proportion of social media users.

"Isn't fox meat more expensive than donkey meat anyway?" asked one bemused user.

As an alternative to clear the palette.............

I'm having about 50 Chief fans over to my house to watch the game down here in Florida. Here's the smoker one of our group is bringing.

Some details about the meat................

They start with the best meat that they can find. They will start prepping the meat as soon as they get it home.
They use a 7 step process to cook the ribs. They will be cooking 18 slabs of St.Louis style cuts of ribs. They trim up the slabs. They make their own rub for the meat and BBQ sauce. Their BBQ sauce is traditional vinegar based KC BBQ sauce. They will have a couple of bottles of Sweet Baby Rays for those who like the sweet sauce. They are also going to cook 80-90 pieces of chicken and 80 sausages.

The smoker is a custom built $10K reverse flow smoker. It has fryers and charcoal sides.

I don't think charcoal sides would be very sturdy.

I never buy meat or produce from Walmart. Never will.

:doh!:

Donkey meat "tainted" with the DNA of other animals? Wouldn't that just improve it?

You should stay away from Walmart tilapia too. It's coming from China where they're literally rasing them in sewers.

I wouldn't think it could hurt it.

Looking forward to having some good BBQ. The BBQ in Florida is the pits.

No matter how you cook that donkey meat -- tastes like ass.

Tilapia is a nasty ass fish regardless of where it comes from. It's a shit eater.

Thankfully I never shop at Walmart. Never will

Shouldn't the thread title say "Proof that Walmart meat DOESN'T taste like ass" if the complaint is about the lack of donkey in the donkey meat?

Tastes like ass either way though!

Why not?

Walmart buys their meat from Cargill, Tyson, National Beef, etc. Just like the major chain grocery stores do.

I know this because I deliver to Walmart, Publix, Hy-Vee, distribution centers.
