Abstract: |
Food fraud isn’t just annoying; it also appears to be annoyingly common. Sure, if someone labels beef as chicken, most people will know the difference. But how many people can determine if a cut of Kobe beef is actually what it purports to be? Of course, some may argue that if you can’t tell the difference, why are you paying a premium? Well, besides the fact that mislabeling food is fraud, it’s not just consumers that get hurt. Hard working farmers are also having their businesses undercut when the market is flooded with fake products. |
