The following news is from the FoodNavigator.com on December 7, 2015.
Honey and fish were sampled in the EU for fraud. Samples of honey were found to be 19% to 32% mislabled in some way. "Almost a third (30%) of the fraudulent products had been bulked out with cheap sugar syrups. Through pollen analysis 37% had been labelled with the wrong botanical source and 10% with the incorrect geographical origin."
Fish were also sampled for fraud. "Although cod and hake represented the largest number of non-compliant samples (30 and 27 respectively), they were the most commonly-tested species. Grouper (31%), common sole (24%) and yellowfin sole (15%) actually had the highest non-compliance rates.
