ITALIAN-STYLE SCAMS

The reality behind the most popular staples

An episode from the series FOOD BUSINESS INVESTIGATIONS

Synopsis

Every year, exports bring in almost 45 billion euros for Italy.

But the country is missing a substantial fortune, as it could earn up to three times as much if it did not face the scourge of counterfeits.

A study has pointed out, in particular, the increasingly massive food product deceptions. This market alone is estimated at 100 billion euros.
