| Abstract: |
Made in Italy' olive oil is often anything but - despite laws aimed at protecting the quality of the product, warns a report from Italian farmers' organization Coldiretti. The study was presented in Florence on Thursday, Italy's National Day of Italian Extra-virgin Olive Oil, which also saw 10,000 farmers protest against unfair competition and lack of transparency on oil labels. Fraud in the oils and fats industry quadrupled in 2015, the organization said, with a record 278 percent increase in the number of products seized. |
