The first of a two-part investigation on criminal corruption in the international food business.
The phrase you are what you eat is in common usage, but what if you do not know exactly what you are eating? How about horse meat lasagne, or olive oil that is not actually made from olives, or tuna steaks laced with deadly nitrates?
These and other counterfeit and adulterated foods have been put on sale around the world cheap and sometimes dangerous fakes of the real thing, sometimes of even the most expensive premium products. It is a secretive and deadly multibillion-dollar trade that defrauds legitimate producers and poses huge health risks to consumers.

Thankfully Australia has very good food standards.
The USA has some terrible food standards. I tried to buy some honey whilst over there. It's full of corn syrup.

"Almost one in five Australian honey samples, including some expensive boutique honey, are fake, according to a ground-breaking study that tested samples of local and international branded honey."

If food comes in a box/plastic container it's most likely fake food.
Never buy honey at a supermarket always from my local guy who makes it himself(processes it from his bees)
Even fruit these days, can anyone taste or smell fresh fruit at the supermarket(unless its going off)
So you think that food fraud is mainly a Chinese problem? Think again.
