Horse meat in beef lasagne, Olives coloured with copper sulphate, Counterfeit sugar contaminated with fertilizer, and Melamine in milk powder are amongst a growing list of food fraud cases.
The impact of food fraud ranges from harmful adulteration potentially resulting in illness or death, to unethical substitution of inferior products which can destroy brand reputation or even the reputation of an entire exporting country. In all cases, the consumer does not get exactly what they expected or what they have paid for.
