| Abstract: |
The green liquid drips steadily as Andreas Kliemant feeds a cheap mixture made from shredded spinach, wasabi and pepper into funnel above a tank of cheap cooking oil. This is the crook’s way of making what will be passed off as expensive olive oil. No one will notice the difference: the spurious oil tastes pretty similar to pricey cold-pressed olive oil. “ For as long as there has been food there has been fraud,” says Kliemant, a scientist who was recently demonstrating the fiddle during a food fair in a bid to alert consumers to rampant food fraud. |
