Many of the foods we eat every day are presented as something they are not. The situation in this case is similar to the replicas of bags and clothes of famous brands, but it is about food.
Various additives are added to the imitation products, which replace the natural ones and thus the product becomes cheaper. And while imitation bags and outfits simply reveal that one does not have enough money for the originals, imitation foods can be harmful to health.
Among the most common imitation products is orange juice. There are many growers who do not make real oranges, but dry mixtures containing sugar, corn syrup, monosodium glutamate, dried orange pulp. All this is mixed with water and orange juice is obtained, which is an imitation.
Honey is an immunostimulant and difficult to imitate, but cheaper types of honey contain sugar syrup and other types of sweeteners.
Truffle oil is often replaced by various types of artificial flavors and colors that are sold as real truffle oil.
Products that contain blueberries very often do not actually contain blueberries, but colorants, flavors, flavor enhancers, corn syrup and hydrogenated fats.
Milk is one of the most common imitation products. Some types of milk contain different types of flavor enhancers, milk powder and different types of sweeteners.
Fish is one of the imitation products - often the fish that is sold as caught in the wild is raised in fish farms, which changes its quality.
Saffron is among the imitation products. This is a very expensive spice, but in fact it often turns out not to sell saffron, but different types of dried and powdered plants that have flavor enhancers and colors.
Olive oil is also an imitation product. The most common fraud is in terms of quality, in addition, olive oil, which is not produced in Italy, is often sold as Italian. Olive oil is often enhanced with soybean and palm oil.
Pomegranate juice is also one of the common imitations of food products. But it often happens that pomegranate juice has more pear juice and additives such as fructose corn syrup.
As unfortunate as it may be, coffee is also an imitation product sometimes. This happens when coffee is improved with various additives and flavors - but this applies to ground coffee.
