Abstract: Photo credit: The American Chemical SocietyThe amount of “fake food ” you eat annually is probably higher than you would like. And no, we’re not talking about food made from plastic. This is especially true if you eat foods such as cheese or olive oil, as suggested in a new video released by the American Chemical Society, which documents the ways fake food gets past the experts whose job it is to make sure your food is safe to eat. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently found that several US sellers of parmesan cheese weren’t being entirely truthful in advertising products.
