  3. #Adulteration is rampant in the #avocado oil industry & people are misled by large #retailers. High value #oils can be targets for economically motivated adulteration. Researchers had earlier found that #oliveoil labeled “extra virgin” was not: washingtonpost.com/wellness/20 #foodsafety

  4. Heard today on #MichiganPublic that there is a growing problem of #weed extract for CBD being diverted and chemically converted for the THC market. They focused on its use in vape cartridges, but said it is also used in edibles.

    I suspect that the odd overpowering maple-ish flavor I’ve tasted in some cheap gummies might be a result of that. Disturbing.

  5. 3/3 I continue to be a fan of iD (particularly of the newly launched ready-to-eat chutney range), of course. But I cannot help pointing out that this tweet (and on Instagram; on LinkedIn Mustafa has not attached the news pic even though the text is the same, alluding to the news) is unlike iD's or PC Mustafa's usual tone.

  7. #adulteration, or dilution, is among the most common forms of #food #fraud, a problem on the rise worldwide - and in #Australia. From #prawns plumped up with gel to #wine watered down with fruit juice, food fraud is a growing problem that costs producers billions.

  9. @timrichards It was the light-hearted tone that prompted the warning! The #turmeric drink #fad is new. Cooking with small quantities of the rhizome is traditional but large quantities, raw, untested? & the powder's risky due to high % #adulteration - sometimes accidental, sometimes to boost that fun colour. A friend sank into such confusion we feared early onset dementia, then discovered a new turmeric drink habit & #LeadPoisoning. Maybe consider before normalising?
