Synopsis:
Horse-meat labelled as beef. Honey diluted with cheap sugar syrups. Counterfeit extra-virgin olive oil. Food crime is a multi-billion dollar industry affecting everything from the cheapest to most expensive ingredient. 10% of what we eat is thought to be adulterated. “What we know for sure is that food fraud is growing exponentially and it’s more and more worrying,” states one consumer advocate.

Criminal syndicates are infiltrating the global food supply chain, undermining the ability of consumers to trust what is on the label and what ends up on their plate. In Italy, entire sectors of the food industry are controlled by the mafia. All over the world, well-organised criminal networks work together to penetrate complex supply chains. Scams range from the intentional mislabelling of inferior products in order to pass them off as premium items, to the substitution of one food stuff for something else entirely. The profits are enormous. But what are the risks to the consumer? How can we identify food fraud? And what can be done to stop it?

In this investigation, we follow the food fraud brigades and reveal how little we know about what we’re eating. From the olive groves of Italy to the fish markets of France and the abattoirs of Poland, this film takes you on a culinary journey of a very different kind. A global investigation into the counterfeit food industry.

Unbelievable! No wonder people are sicker today. I no longer buy processed food and try to buy most of my food from local producers and growers. Thank you for reporting.

[the_genre]

the most secure food chain is the one you grow yourself and harvest.

[victoriar]

Whatever FDA says I try to avoid it. I found myself in this rabbit hole of so many industry lies when I read "The 23 Former Doctor Truths". Its no wonder why Doctor left her career.

[Truthmybannerl]

This is what you get when you close down all home grown food Industry!! Best to start producing our own foods for safety and quality

[dogbone]

Crime is everywhere and there's no penalty.

[RRHUM]

Buying food from small scale farmers is safer than getting it from these big companies

[Bravestandalone]

Go to Serbia where agriculture is small-scale organic non-GMO farming without those huge international agricultural conglomerates manipulating food production and distribution!

[yohannabonat]

Humanity has one thing in common (regardless of; gender, colour, Nationalities, and religion), that is; criminality. It occurs everywhere (there is no exception).
Kudos for you and your entire team.
Be diligence, please, because they are hardened criminals, they can eliminate any team that crossed their path.

Anything the FDA recommends, I now do the opposite. Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett is a must-read if you want to uncover the shocking realities of the health industry. It opened my eyes, and I’ve completely changed my lifestyle since!

[forzajuve]

they need much tougher penalties for food fraudsters..it is killing everyone subtly. that a huge danger

[bull.dog.]

@Benedicte Delfaut - thank you for raising such issues. I have been raising them for the last year on X and I've received death threats, was called names, and all kinds of things happened.

Keep fighting the good fight!

You are not alone!

[victorjoseph]

time to defund this food industry mafia. this has gone too far now .

[felixpope]

Best way eat fresh, cook at home, buy from local farms

[azoreanprincesa]

Start your own garden and buy lots of fruit trees. We can't trust these big corporations with our food. Shop farmers markets.

[CHixon]

Avoid processed foods, like those found in the freezer section.

[vishwadave]

Thanks a lot put this under the spotlight with depth & details. I seriously admire the hardwork your team has put in to get such a quality of content

[monikagonzales]

This and many other documentaries on this subject must be made highly public!

[Arjay.M]

I really dislike that the HEAD of our food decisions stated "it was a crisis because of the media cover" like.. was it not a big deal if the media had not covered it?! What in the fk does that mean?! It was a HUGE DEAL even if NOONE SAID ANYTHING. If I am buying beef, especially because the consumer is not the one saving any money in this bait and switch deal, then I expect it TO BE BEEF.

[nensondubois]

Of course it is, why do you reckon food is filled with toxins, chemicals and is expensive, and workers are paid poorly in the food industry?

[VisibleMajority]

Let’s not forget GOVERNMENTS that pass bills for payoffs who allow this
