You Won’t Believe What’s Happening in the US! How Americans Are Tricked Into Buying Fake Food Did you know that the food in your kitchen cabinets may not be what it seems. According to the Global Food Safety Initiative, fraudsters motivated by economic gain secretly infiltrate the global food market through a variety of means, including counterfeits, dilutions, substitution and mislabeling. This, besides being harmful for consumer’s wallets, has a wide array of hazardous consequences on public health and safety. FDA also stated that, some estimates say food fraud affects at least 5-7% of the global food industry at a cost as high as $40 billion a year. Here we are about to unveil causes, Consequences, and Deterrence Strategies that are associated with the food fraud mafia. So, basically, food fraud occurs when customers are deceived about the quality and/ or content of the food they are purchasing, and is often motivated by an undue advantage for those who are selling the food. A 2016 study conducted on food fraud in Canada showed that more than 75 percent of respondents reported that they would pay an extra one to five percent more for zero food fraud certified products; 24 percent perceived food fraud as a high risk to their health. Economically motivated adulteration of food and food fraud can be a serious issue for food safety: the case of melamine in milk led to over 300 000 people becoming ill, while the toxic olive oil syndrome resulting from aniline in olive oil led to approximately 300 deaths shortly after the onset of the disease and to a larger number developed chronic disease. There might not be what it seems like in your kitchen drawers. The Global Food Safety Initiative says that people who want to steal money sneak into the global food market in secret by doing things like making fakes, diluting, substituting, and mislabeling. This might not only cost people money, but it might also risk everyone’s health and safety. As much as $40 billion a year is lost to food fraud, which the FDA says affects at least 1% of the world’s food business. 🔔 Subscribe now with all notifications on! 📺 Watch the entire video for more information! ---------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer Fair Use: 1.
