Too many companies and governments pay lip service to this as they make too much money from the practise and are not really interested in actually knowing what is in their product. You can buy certification and you can fake labels, the one thing that you cannot do is take trace elements out or change the DNA. Just need to make testing more affordable and faster, not taking days or even weeks but minutes or hours.

It also provides some specific examples of food fraud, such as the case of the Missouri man who sold millions of bushels of fake organic grain.

Can you provide more information about the risks of food fraud, such as health risks, economic loss, and lost trust in the food system?
