Seven
sins of falsity and falsification
Nowadays the falsification in the described
above meaning conquers the market crippling
not only the health, but also food industry
and the economy of the states where food
is the matter of cultural importance.
There are numerous examples of the ways
to swindle the consumer, but amid the
most common are:
SEVEN SINS OF FOOD FALSITY AND
FALSIFICATION
1 – Falsification of the
origin.
Very often the indication of the origin
of the product is followed by the convenient
laws that turn to be fictitious, like
in the case with olive oil. There is the
wrong opinion that the origin of the oil
is similar with the place of its "producing".
It is obvious that to make it the oil-press
is needed and the place of its location
is considered the place of origin of the
oil, regardless of where the olives come
from.
2 - Falsification and forgery
of the local production
It becomes more and more common the substitution
of the local originality with the "fabricated"
one. In this sphere the most widespread
is the fraud of the more or less well-known
products. For instance, Parmesan cheese
is imitated throughout the Europe and
America under different names from Parmesan
to Reggianito and so on.
3 – Falsification of the
tradition
There are numerous fakes of traditional
food in all the variety of kinds and types.
From the one side it touches upon the
nonobservance of antique traditions.
3/1 – The product, dish, menu may
be subjected to some kind of "restoration"
or "reconstruction", that although
might be acceptable but experienced the
substantial change of its components and
in the first part, the use.
3/2 – And from the other side the
creation of "non-existent" traditions,
that are being simply fabricated
4 – Product falsification
Today we are as never before aware that
the quality of food is an integral part
of the correspondence of the raw product.
We have already mentioned that the originality
corresponds the place of origin and/or
its content (immutable original components
and natural elements). The food product
obtained with the help of new technological
systems, certainly safe from the sanitary
side, is not original, but fabricated
one.
5 – Falsification of the
recipes
Nowhere else is the falsification so common
as in the receipts
6 – Dish forgery
There has always existed more or less
defined traditions that require a certain
way of preparation and serving of the
dish and the ratio both in the dish itself
and in wines/ Very often it happens that
you are served the dishes as a traditional
ones, that have in fact don't have any
traditional nature and turn up to be a
pure falsification.
7 – Falsification of the
menu
We all know or estimate that the cuisine
had changed and is evolving even now even
in the respect of serving the food. Today
exist a certain kinds of menu that influence
different dishes and thereby falsificate
the structure of the meal.
