Is the food youre eating what you think it is?
b'
How can you be sure you\\u2019re eating what you think you\\u2019re eating? In most cases, food fraud won\\u2019t make you ill, but you won\\u2019t be getting quite what you\\u2019re paying for. \\n \\nIn this programme, Ruth Alexander hears why high food prices and the war in Ukraine mean food fraud is more likely to happen. She visits a laboratory in Belfast in Northern Ireland, where food products are analysed to sort what\\u2019s real and what\\u2019s fake, and she speaks to a food fraud investigator who tells us just how difficult it is to stop the criminals.\\n \\nAnd we hear from a spice market in Delhi where vendors and shoppers tell us how they try to avoid fake products. \\n
