如果食品包裝上寫明是「有機產品」，實際上它不是；商家說貨品產自本地，但並非如此。加拿大食品分銷、安全和保安領域的頂尖專家沙勒布瓦（Sylvain Charlebois）稱，這些都是眼見的食品欺詐行為。
戴爾豪斯大學（Dalhousie University）的最新報告「食品欺詐與風險感知」，在今年一月歷時三週調查了1,088名加拿大人之後發現，63％的受訪者擔心商家沒有對食品做如實陳述。
據global news報導，該大學管理學院院長沙勒布瓦表示，廣義來說，食品欺詐包括沒有如實陳述食品、質量或來源等。例如，零售商稱出售的鮭魚是野生的，實際上是養殖的；或者加工食品註明是無麩質，但含有會導致某些人過敏的成分。

連結：Dalhousie study says 63% of Canadians are concerned about food fraud
In a new report titled “food fraud and risk perception”, Dalhousie researchers surveyed 1,088 Canadians over a three-week period in January. They asked respondents in English or French a range of questions about the food they eat and whether they’re concerned about it.
Among the key findings:
- respondents with a declared health condition, including allergies and intolerances, were more likely to be concerned about counterfeited food products coming from within Canada;
- older consumers were more likely to be concerned about food fraud in general;
- more educated consumers were concerned about the risks associated with imported food products.

小編評：目前線上找不到「食品欺詐與風險感知（food fraud and risk perception）」這篇研究，應該是沒有免費釋出吧。
