Some Walmart stores in the southwest city of Chongqing will close temporarily following accusations they sold ordinary pork as organic pork."We have agreed to temporarily close some stores in Chongqing for 15 days. We believe this will allow us to complete comprehensive actions to upgrade the standards in these Chongqing stores," Walmart said in a statement.
Chongqing's municipal government will shut 10 stores and fine the stores 2.69 million Yuan ($421,200), the official Xinhua news agency said late on Sunday.
The 10 Walmart stores and two other stores acquired by Walmart, are accused of selling 63,547 kilograms of falsely labeled pork over the last two years, Xinhua reported, quoting Huang Bo, director of Chongqing's Industry and Commerce body.
