The world’s largest retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc plans to invest USD 16.3 million over three years to improve food safety in China. The retailer will use some of the funds to expand a mobile food-inspection lab program to cover 70 stores in the Guangdong Province. It will also increase supplier training, improve store standards, recruit more food safety experts and expand its fresh-food distribution. In October 2011, police arrested Wal-Mart workers in Chongqing for mislabelling ordinary pork as organic.
