| Abstract: |
How sure are you that what you bought is what you paid for? Organic labels have found themselves on non-organic produce, wood pulp has been found in Parmigiano and saffron is occasionally cut with corn silk and cotton thread. Food fraud isn’t a new phenomenon. The Roman Empire established an entire bureaucracy to verify the producer, quality and origin of the empire’s olive oil, and in The Jungle, Upton Sinclair famously chronicled the dubious production of processed meat at the turn of the 20th century. |
