They can show up by surprise in markets, restaurants and food production factories. In France, 6,000 hygiene and fraud prevention inspectors are responsible for checking the contents of our plates daily. In the back kitchens, nothing escapes them. Around a hundred checks are carried out every day to uncover expired products, deception on merchandise and hygiene problems. For several months, we followed the work of this plate police. What’s new: for several months, the results of their checks have been made public and each of us can consult them on an official website. We will explain to you how this new device works. It must be said that consumers are more and more careful about the quality of what they eat. In restaurants in particular, 1 in 2 customers prefer “homemade”. But today, only 10% of restaurants actually cook their menus. The others don’t mention anything, or worse, some openly lie to the customer by passing off frozen and industrial meals as fresh products simmered by the chef. We will show you the techniques used by fraudsters. So to see things more clearly, many consumers trust the quality labels that restaurants display on their windows. Forks or stars which help boost attendance by 30% on average. However, the criteria are often opaque. You will find out how to navigate it. But there you have it, lack of time or staff, state services cannot be everywhere. When they are overwhelmed, they no longer hesitate to refer consumers to associations which have made a specialty of delving behind the scenes of our favorite dishes. We were able to follow their shocking investigations to denounce bad practices and track down manufacturers who do not respect the law. Sometimes with surprising results that push hypermarkets to remove certain products from their shelves.
