Sometime ago, I talked about the lead-tainted Chinese honey in the US (most of it ends up in commercial foods).
Now I just found out about more fraudulent food - this time blatantly fraudulent: blueberries which simply are not. Offenders include well-known brands like Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Blueberry Muffin and Total Blueberry Pomegranate cereal which contain no blueberries or pomegranates.
In its place are: "sugar, corn syrup, starch, hydrogenated oil, artificial flavors, blue No. 2 and red No. 40".
Personally, we've stopped buying Kellogg's cereals years ago because the last time we checked, even their basic corn flakes contain high fructose corn syrup. They also use Monsanto's genetically modified corn. If you've never heard of Monsanto, they're the company that told us that DDT and Agent Orange were safe. Now they're telling us that their GMOs are safe. You be the judge.
For more information, you can refer to the article in the LA Times.
