Problem:
There is a new and growing danger with the food we eat. Criminal gangs are selling billions of dollars of fake food to supermarkets around the world. The food could be very dangerous. In the past few years, there have been some high-profile scandals. Children's candies are dyed with poisonous chemicals, horse meat is labeled as beef, cheaper peanut powder is being used instead of almond flour harming or killing people with peanut allergies. Gangs can make a lot of money from fake food. It is also safer than selling drugs because the penalties are lower. What food crimes do you know about? What can supermarkets do to make sure our food is safe? How can we use technology to fight food crime? What should the penalties be for food crime?
