Recent scandals include ham and cheese pizza topped with neither ham nor cheese, unidentified meat in curries, goat’s cheese made from sheep milk and cheap oriental perch sold as sea bass. Vegetarians and vegans aren't exempt - honey, spices and fruit juices are some of the most adulterated products on the market. Join Richard Evershed FRS, Professor of Biogeochemistry, University of Bristol, and science writer Nicola Temple, co-authors of the new book Sorting the Beef from the Bull, as they discuss some of the century's biggest food scams and the science that helped reveal them, as well as what we can do as consumers to protect ourselves.
