Your olive oil is possibly fake. As, perhaps, are your chocolates, sardines and alcohol.
Olive oil is commonly marketed as being Italian, but is often grown elsewhere and is sometimes just packaged in Italy, allowing it to use the phrase ‘Bottled in Italy’ on its labels. There is also concern that some products claiming to be olive oil are coloured, mixed with chemicals or blended with other types of oil before being sold.
Producers have been worried over the rising price of the product since drought and disease caused poor harvests in southern Europe.
Some products labelled as olive oil may contain seed oil, which poses a serious health risk to consumers who are allergic to seed oil.
In Italy, officers found 85 tonnes of olives which had been doused in copper sulphate solutions to enhance their colour.
