| Abstract: |
The Canadian government is cracking down after a bad olive harvest in Europe has brought the quality of olive oil into question. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency warns that a bad year for olive producers may result in an increase in olive oil fraud, but says they're ready to combat it. "We are telling them – we are paying attention," the CFIA's Aline Dimitri told CTV News. "You should be on notice." Bad weather, fire, and pests have had a significant damaging effect on the olive crops of southern Europe this year, with some farmers reporting that their production decreased by as much as 30 per cent. |
