Its the secretive and deadly trade that generates billions of dollars every year. So whos behind it and whos trying to stop it . In the 1st episode of this to part investigation, we went in search of european food, for instance. And the whistle blowers and regulators determined to expose them. We looked in particular at fake beef scandals which put horse meat into brand name, ready meals, and saw sick cattle introduced into the food chain for huge profits. But theres more to fake food than just cheat beef a can affect even the most premium products. And that takes us now to a country renown for its distinctive cuisine and gastronomic heritage. Italy italian food is loved around the world. It sought after ingredients forming a major part of the countrys export trade. Unsurprisingly, it was one of the 1st countries in europe to establish Quality Control measures. And it takes any threat against its products extremely seriously.

But the i c q r f or the central inspectorate as it sometimes known focus is much of its attention on just one product famous all over the world. Italian extra Virgin Olive Oil. This single shining star of the countrys food culture owns italy. Well, over a 1000000000 euros a year, and its fiercely protected bag, portable plain when any value, unless it should jubilant. Counterfeiters selling fake oil on line routinely steel, genuine brand names to do so.

To understand that you have to start to mid italys fabled olive grove. This is an keyona in tuscany village where Leonardo Da Vinci was born.

These big manufacturers dont harvest or press their product locally on site like luigi does. Instead, they gather olives for central processing from across italy and then blend them together. Industrially, sometimes adding imported oil to the mix. Its a method regulator say that can be open to fraud. The positively bono is one of the main entry points for goods entering tuscany. Every day here a ship unloads a cargo of extra Virgin Olive Oil, not from italy, but from elsewhere around the mediterranean. Much almost skinny soil, connie for the doughty dallas by now a video, im a boy. It is with data. These foreign imports will be mixed with the domestic product and then sold as italian extra Virgin Olive Oil. Remarkably, this is all legal under one condition, that all the criteria for extra Virgin Olive Oil have been met. And then i sat up, annoyed with k l, u o l, your care, a job board, young me the italian inspectors are looking for imported foreign oil of poor quality that side the too acidic or not fruity enough. If its found to be not up to grade, the oil is simply registered as being sub standard, stating that an error has crept into the documents space.

I got somebody that was the best freddy. Before launching an investigation, the inspector is supposed to know exactly what youll find in the tanks. The quantity which oil is produced on site, which oil is imported, everything must be recorded by the manufacturer. Its a meticulous process thats meant to keep the entire production of Italian Olive Oil under the strictest supervision.

But these controls really a stringent they seem to have been frequent complaints of double standards in the industry that the authorities tend to focus on the smaller producers while leaving the major more powerful companies alone.

Many foods are increasingly vulnerable to this international trafficking. Fish, for example, is highly valued for its healthy properties. But its also often targeted by fakers. Most of the fish we eat is no longer caught a farm coasts, but in distant seas. And its hard to be sure where it originates. One such fish tuna is a counterfeiters dream. To meet the growing demand for ra tuna, a very specific market run by 200 seafood professionals has been established in europe. This fish is caught in the pacific or indian oceans. Then quickly frozen at minus 18 degrees. Its red meat each and roar and sushi. Another dishes is a premium product and very expensive. So when quantities of luxury grade ra tuna suddenly started appearing on the market at very low prices, some in the industry grew very suspicious. In 2015, a small group of professional insiders from france, germany in italy, realized it was time to do something. One of them agreed to talk to us if we disguised his identity over to the new before qual come, who knew them . Would you please .

Its a frequent food fraud trick, but something even more serious was being done to tuna to make it look fresh than it was. Some of the dissident group had started secretly filming during a visit to a spanish competitor. They noticed strange machinery through which its tuna was being cut. The machinery is sometimes controversial used in the Meat Industry to inject nitrate preservatives that give hams that pink color. Juna turns a less appetizing brown when its been oxidized frozen, and then thought the inside as realize their competitors were using the technique to turn that tuner a more attractive but fake break read rhetoric, but producing glucose, tomato juice of it was a grill though.

They also found injection machines and high quantities of night traits all set up ready to go. The evidence was enough to force that particular operation to close.

Then say oklahoma after they left them, an explanation is to the prison present. You dont remember the salon dental plan. So whats the best way to combat this growing threat to what we eat . Our world relies on the Free Movement of goods. But it also makes things easy for those who seek to abuse the system. And no matter how effective the regulators and investigators may be too many food frauds are still going undetected. Producers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers, are all part of a system that supposed to help ensure the authenticity of what we consume. The problem is that although many of them take this seriously and perform thousands of their own checks, theyre often under no pressure to let others know the results. It was a lack of left what any more dancy lazansky electrostatic bodies or to could hold on to call lisa solution. That is not again, youre absolutely marching ugly ashanda, hamilton.

But if theres one in this capable conclusion to be drawn from this investigation, its that right now somebody somewhere is either faking or a delta rating of food in the hope that will buy it and add to their criminal prophets. Of course, many people are working just as hard to stop them until they do. Perhaps it means that all of us should be a little more vigilant about what we put on our plate.
