The food in your kitchen cabinets may not be what it seems. Fraudsters motivated by economic gain secretly infiltrate the global food market through dilutions and substitutions. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/-8xTVMtkqv4
Shouldn't be hard to tell which one is crap 1st of all said came from California had an expiration date and gave you a long list of ingredients and it was twice as much.
Calling this food fraud is a long shot though. Olive oil is a commodity like any other. If you want full traceability you pay for it. There is really not much more to it. What bothers me is how is not having expiration date or best before date even legal in the USA?!? Aaah America
The good one, with all the info, will smell grassy and taste a bit grassy and when swallowed neat it will hit the back of rhe throat – slightly bitter and may make you cough !
One source, mechanically pressed, cold press , first batch of harvest = particularly high in antioxidants.
I am sorry but this video is useless, because you do not understand how European olive oil works. There I'd no fake nor "food fraud". The price difference comes from a couple of facts: The California oil is more expensive because it can be traced to its farm of origin, and American farming is more expensive.
The cheaper European oil comes from Spain, from a bunch of farms in the south of Spain. Greek and Italian companies buy Spanish and perhaps Turkish oil in bulk tanks for further processing in Greece and Italy to be labelled as Greek or Italian, which makes it more expensive. Your supermarket purchased that "Italian" olive oil already bottled and custom labelled as a cheaper alternative to the locally produced oil. It should still be dated, though, since each original batch is still fully traceable.
Still no fraud nor fake. Just the free markets doing what they do.
When you present a video, please research the subject matter.
@jorgecalero6325 is correct. This woman has no idea what she is talking about. SHAME ON CNBC for publishing such misinformation.
Where to begin with dissecting the BS?
The implication that there is something nefarious or fraudulent about blending olive oils from multiple countries is false and misleading. While there are great olive oils from specific geographies, many terrific olive oils have been blended from different varieties, groves and/or regions into a single product; whether those oils come from groves within the same country or different countries, this is a common and totally acceptable practice. (FYi, the leading brand of California olive oil uses multi-country blends in many of its products.)
Olive oils also have strict country-of-origin labeling requirements that are enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. All imported olive oils are required by law to include a “product of” declaration stating where the olives were grown. If the bottle contains olive oils from several countries that are blended elsewhere, then each of the countries must be listed on the label as the countries of origin. In addition, all olive oils produced in European Union member states, which includes more than 80% of the olive oil consumed in the U.S., are required to undergo risk analysis and controls to check for authenticity and conformity with labeling rules at every stage of marketing, including before they are exported. That process is working, as evidenced by the findings of the peer reviewed study by FDA scientists who after testing 88 randomly selected extra virgin olive oils that concluded that the risk of adulterated olive oil is "low."
While we’re led to believe the camera-left sample is the more authentic one, the phrases on an olive oil label don’t necessarily signify higher quality or authenticity. “Cold pressed” is a marketing phrase with no regulated definition. All unrefined olive oil (i.e., virgin and extra virgin) is by definition cold pressed because it is required to be produced without added heat. (Temperatures cannot exceed 80.6°F.) The Olive Oil Times did a more extensive article about this subject, which you can check out here. https://www.oliveoiltimes.com/basics/what-does-cold-pressed-really-mean/84235 Similarly, with extra virgin olive oils, there is only one pressing, so the word “first” tends only to add to the confusion. “No artificial flavors or preservatives” is also a phrase that applies to all grades of olive oil.
When it comes to “unfiltered” on the label, viewers would be better advised to take care. Most commercial olive oil is filtered to remove the particulate matter present in olive oil after it has been extracted. While some people feel that unfiltered olive oil has a better taste, filtered and unfiltered olive oil have the same health benefits. However, there is a major difference in shelf life. The olive particles in unfiltered olive oil will continue to ferment in the bottle, accelerating the oxidation of the olive oil once the container has been opened. Filtering helps maintain stability and preserves the healthy qualities of olive oil. If you do buy unfiltered olive oil, it’s best to look for the freshest bottle available and use it quickly after opening.
Where she talks about expiration and harvest dates, the segment goes from misleading to self-contradictory. Up until this point, the premise of has been that more expensive food products are more susceptible fraud than cheaper ones. Yet with the example of olive oil, the higher price is used to insinuate that the oil is more authentic — again, with no other evidence given. While the Californian olive oil may be more expensive than the Mediterranean blend on the right, and might be of higher quality, that doesn't mean the oil on the right is fake. There are many reasons that lead to the high cost of olive oils, including land and labor.
Regarding expiration dates, fresher is always better with olive oil, but harvest dates are not the most useful information for determining an olive oil’s shelf life. Harvest dates are when the olives were picked from the trees, whereas “best by” dates are a calculation by the producer/bottler as to how long the olive oil will last under good storage conditions measured from the date of bottling. “Best by” dates provide more information because they account for several factors (not just harvest dates) to determine how long the olive oil will last under good storage conditions.
It’s disappointing that CNBC chose to publish this uninformed video. In fact, the only “evidence” of fraud presented in the segment is the spokesperson claiming one of the olive oils she bought is more expensive than the other and that they have different information on their labels. The implication is that something must be “wrong” with one of the blends, but the segment never comes out and explicitly says so.
1/ You clearly don't say where is the fake according to you. 2/ If you don't have info about the 2st its because US allows that. In Europe, olive oils have strict regulations that states all the mandatory infos needed to be traced. 3/ As mainstream media, you try to manipulate the audience opinion, toward where you want, yet you fail to prove your point because it is untrue. You don't even have the facts straight since you remove the labels. We therefore cannot and shouldn't trust your only words.
All these reasons prove again that medias, regardless their political agenda, are BS packed in DS shiny package.

So which ones the fraud? You didn’t clarify.
Why would you post this without definitively saying which is false? Though I assume it's the "blend"
Okay, which one is better.
Watched the part of the video and still didn’t tell me which one was fake
Shouldn't be hard to tell which one is crap 1st of all said came from California had an expiration date and gave you a long list of ingredients and it was twice as much.
And?
Unsubscribing…
Just get over it
Dumb asf short tbh…
Olive oil still fattening. Just buy the spray oil
Calling this food fraud is a long shot though. Olive oil is a commodity like any other. If you want full traceability you pay for it. There is really not much more to it. What bothers me is how is not having expiration date or best before date even legal in the USA?!? Aaah America
That was amazing
Watched this whole episode, scary and interesting.
People ask which one is better it's not even a question the Mediterranean were making olive oil from the beginning of History

Yup everything in Cali is more expensive where do I buy the first one.
what the hell are you getting at
bahahahahhahahahahhahahahahha
WHAT?! really……….bahahhahhaha
If they taste the same, I'd say the cheaper one is my choice. Real or not doesn't matter.
Whichever one tastes closest to bacon fat, is my choice.
This short is very weak sauce. There is literally nothing in this video that indicates food fraud.
Okay????
Talk about a terrible final edit, let's plant the seed of doubt and not clarify anything 🤣
This short video is the fraud. There is no answer to the question posed.
So what was the point of this video… It helped no one and at my age that's a minute I will never get back😭
I got nothing from this
Non California is the Fraud
yeah but whoever did her makeup should be fired
Grooooobur
So which one was a fraud?
Clickbait. Get off YouTube. Adios.
Why is she that color?
Russian propaganda vs American one. 🥴
American is more enjoyable to watch
The good one, with all the info, will smell grassy and taste a bit grassy and when swallowed neat it will hit the back of rhe throat – slightly bitter and may make you cough !

California one is fake olive oil.
Was this video made in the 1980s? Or that’s just the lights and make up/wardrobes?
So wth does this mean lol?
I only see a brand scamming people with pretty colors

Just because it costs more doesn't mean it tastes better.

Because it isn't true.
How much do you ignore about Olive oil?
Yes
1/ You clearly don't say where is the fake according to you.
2/ If you don't have info about the 2st its because US allows that.
In Europe, olive oils have strict regulations that states all the mandatory infos needed to be traced.
3/ As mainstream media, you try to manipulate the audience opinion, toward where you want, yet you fail to prove your point because it is untrue.
You don't even have the facts straight since you remove the labels.
We therefore cannot and shouldn't trust your only words.

sorry but what's going on with your face color ???
WOW GO FOR THE CALI OLIVE OIL!!! YES
Um, so which one was food fraud?
