Vegetarian Zen Podcast Ep. 222

Watch Out for Food Fraud! (VZ 222)

//  by Vickie Velasquez

Don’t be Fooled by Food Fraud!

According to Michigan State University’s Food Fraud Initiative, food fraud is “a collective term used to encompass the deliberate and intentional substitution, addition, tampering, or misrepresentation of food, food ingredients, or food packaging; or false or misleading statements made about a product, for economic gain.”

In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we share a few of the most common food frauds to watch out for.
