Olive Oil Scandal Rocks Romania: Consumer Protection Authority Exposes Mislabeling

Romania's Consumer Protection Authority exposes misleading olive oil labeling. The president of the National Consumer Protection Authority, Cristian Popescu Piedone, recently released a video highlighting a case of mislabeling in a popular brand of olive pomace oil. In the video, Piedone holds up a bottle of the oil and points out that according to an analysis by Antena 1 Observator, the product contains no actual olive oil, despite the label's claims. "This oil from the supermarket shelf doesn't even have a trace of olive," Piedone stated in the video. This revelation underscores the importance of verifying product labels and raises concerns about consumer protection in Romania. The incident has sparked discussion about the need for stricter regulations and greater transparency in the food industry.
