The Olive Oil Mafia: 70% of What You Buy Is Fake

Описание: #food #oliveoil #explained
70% of olive oil labeled “extra virgin” in American supermarkets has failed independent purity tests. Not low quality. Not expired. Adulterated.

Blended with cheaper oils. Misleading labels. Supply chains that are intentionally opaque. And in multiple documented cases, organized crime groups — including the Italian Mafia — have been linked to large-scale olive oil fraud.

We investigated the $100 billion global olive oil industry — from academic lab tests to major criminal investigations like Operation Golden Oil.

What we found will make you look at every bottle in your kitchen differently.
