What are some “unbelievable” food frauds?

1. Wine.

The production of fake wine mainly relies on pouring water and using additives. After labeling fake domestic and foreign famous wines, low-quality products that cost no more than one yuan are transformed into famous wines. Counterfeiters with a little conscience may just add water to inferior wine, but the wine made by black-hearted counterfeiters does not even have a trace of original wine, but is directly a mixture of alcohol, water, additives and flavors.

Another way to counterfeit wine is to refill low-priced wine in high-end bottles. These counterfeiters will search for raw materials such as bottles, wine labels, and corks of famous wines across the country, refill them with cheap wine, and label them with internationally renowned brands such as "Lafite", "Latour", and "Mouton" The trademark is then sold to various places through logistics companies.

2. Beef and mutton.

Relatively speaking, counterfeit meat products appear most frequently in hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, braised meat restaurants, and some small restaurants and restaurants. The counterfeited meats mainly include beef and mutton. Nowadays, meat is not just filled with water.

Chop the pork into small pieces and put it into the pool to thaw. After thawing, add the pickling agent, starch, and pigment and stir it in a blender. After stirring, marinate for about four days. The marinated semi-finished pork Put it into the beef soup pot and cook for about 2 hours. The cooked meat is placed on a wire mesh platform to dry. Add the beef and it will be red.

After these processes, the price of counterfeit food has greatly increased. The deceived consumers not only spent more money, but also ate fake products. The behavior of counterfeiters is really hateful.

3. Freshly squeezed juice.

The method of counterfeiting freshly squeezed juice is relatively simple, which is to blend it with juice powder or puree, additives, and flavors. The word "fake" is mainly reflected in the fact that it is not freshly squeezed. Fake freshly squeezed juices usually appear in beverage shops, restaurants, hotels and other places. There is no fraud in packaged juice drinks sold in supermarkets. The only thing worth noting is the difference between juice and fruit-flavored drinks. We only need to read the labels clearly when purchasing.

It is relatively simple to distinguish whether a fruit juice is freshly squeezed juice from the senses. Generally speaking, freshly squeezed juice has a slightly lighter taste, while blended juice has a very rich taste due to the addition of sweeteners and flavors.
