We all work hard to make ends meet with our budgets. It is alarming to read about food frauds that either waste our money and in some cases put our family’s health in danger. I read an article from Smart Money and wanted to share with you the eight largest frauds on products that we as consumers frequently purchase. When you do go looking for deal, please take note that there are fraudulent items to watch out for.
Part 1 concerns olive oil.
This product is the most subject to fraud. The Journal of Food Sciences study show that many consumers are getting a bad deal. Labels are proclaiming one country being better than another or making pricier extra virgin olive oil a better choice over regular. If you are an olive oil shopper, know your product and research any hype concerning one brand over another. Is Italian olive oil better than Greece? The price shows a difference, but is it important for what you are serving? Most regular oils are great for cooking without having to pay for the pricier select versions.
Choose a brand you trust that has a history of good products. Educating oneself is a great weapon against any type of fraud. When you spend money for a product or service, make it a trusted choice. When you are applying for a cash advance, make your money matters important enough to stay with a trusted company.
