June 25.,2018 from the Food Navigator:
French authorities, the DGCCRF, found that the spices that they tested contained deliberate adulteration. They tested 181 establishments including producers, importers and trader.
Saffron was found to be fraudulent in 81% of the samples. Safflower was a common substitute. Other fraud was found in peppers, curry, curcumen, other spices and mixtures. Cinnomon labeled as Sri Lanken was a lower quality from china. Filler substitues such as salt, starches and olive pomace were added to spices to increase the mass of the product and reduce cost
