SHANGHAI — Wal-Mart has been ordered to temporarily close some stores in Chongqing, China, and to pay $421,000 in fines following an investigation into the mislabeling of tons of regular pork as “organic.”

The retail giant said Monday in a statement that Chongqing police had detained some of its employees over what has been dubbed the “green pork” incident. It apologized to shoppers for any inconvenience and said it was cooperating with authorities.
