Krátky popis
Horsemeat in burgers was hard to swallow, but there are far more
sinister culinary crimes afoot... Chicken eggs that haven't come
from chickens, melamine in infant's milk in China, nut shells in
spices - these are just some examples of the food fraud that has
occurred in recent years. As our urban lifestyle takes us further
and further away from our food sources, there are increasing
opportunities for dishonesty, duplicity and profit-making
short-cuts. Food adulteration, motivated by money, is an issue that
has spanned the globe throughout human history. Whether it's a
matter of making a good quality oil stretch a bit further by adding
a little extra 'something' or labelling a food falsely to appeal to
current consumer trends - it's all food fraud, and it costs the
food industry billions of dollars each year. The price to consumers
may be even higher, with some paying for these crimes with their
health and, in some cases, their lives. Sorting the Beef from the
Bull is a collection of food fraud tales from around the world. It
explains the role of science in uncovering some of the century's
biggest food scams, and explores the arms race between food
forensics and fraudsters as new methods of detection spur more
creative and sophisticated means of committing the crimes. This
book equips us with the knowledge of what is possible in the world
of food fraud and shines a light on the shady areas of our food
supply system where these criminals lurk.
