Tbh. I'm a bit confused by this reaction. When we had the horse meat scandal in Europe, it was a huge, in the news for weeks. If this article is right, it seems like this sort of scam is almost the norm in the US, and people don't really seem to care. In the countries I'm most familiar with (Western Europe, Japan), if a restaurant turns out to be feeding you a cheap substitution for what they advertise, they are done for. Even big chains like Mac Donalds aren't safe, as they had to painfully recognise in July 2014 [1] following a meat scandal. Their sales went down a third for about a year, resulting in quite a substantial operative loss. If potentially dangerous fake olive oil or Tuna doesn't cause a huge media outcry in the US, what will?
