| Abstract: | It reads like the world’s worst menu. Italian olives painted with copper sulphate solution, Sudanese sugar tainted with fertilizer, and hundreds of thousands of litres of bogus alcoholic drinks top Interpol’s annual tally of toxic and counterfeit food seized by police agencies across the world. A seafood vendor in Thailand, where authorities seized 85 tonnes of suspect meat and also dismantled a criminal network making fake whisky. |
