Swindled: The Dark History of Food Fraud, from Poisoned Candy to Counterfeit CoffeeOrganic food fraud: One in six restaurants lie about the origin of their offerings | Mail Online: "Food stores and restaurants have been accused of misleading their customers by claiming to sell ‘organic’ or ‘fresh’ produce.

A survey by trading standards officials found that one sixth of outlets were charging more for menu items by claiming the food had a higher nutritional value than it truly did.

Among the worst offenders in the inquiry was a restaurant that claimed to have cooked dishes with fresh mozzarella but actually used economy cheddar while another outlet advertised ‘home-made pies’ which were really purchased from a nationwide wholesaler."
