BEIJING, June 15 (Reuters) - China's market regulator has summoned a Walmart China executive to discuss food safety issues that have been recently detected at its supermarket chain Sam's Club, according to a notice.
The regulator did not say when the meeting took place. It required the U.S. retailer to strictly prevent food safety risks throughout its entire supply chain and effectively safeguard public dietary safety.
