That honey? Questionable. The olive oil? On notice. The spices? It might have secrets. According to Food & Wine, food fraud is booming, and some of your most trusted staples are apparently living double lives. The problem is global, routine and lucrative. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates food fraud costs the industry up to $40 billion a year, and it’s not just a money issue — it can mean exposure to toxic additives and mystery ingredients you definitely did not RSVP for. Between 2020 and 2023, reported incidents jumped more than 1,000%, which is not a typo and not comforting. Food fraud, which the FDA also calls Economically Motivated Adulteration, includes adulteration, mislabeling, and substitution of lower-quality ingredients. This can include seafood getting mislabeled as a more expensive product, spices getting mixed with other parts of a plant to bulk production, and juices being diluted with water to boost profit margins, according to the magazine.
