View original postI don't know about you, but I see a new story (on FB or news) about food fraud almost every day. I guess probably some of it is down to my own naivete, but (for example) I didn't know they could dip oranges in a red dye that has been deemed carcinogenic by the FDA. Apparently, dipping it is acceptable because we don't eat the peel. Orange zest, anyone? And maraschino cherries are allowed to be dyed with a similar product, because they are judged to be primarily for decoration rather than ingestion.

On the day that I saw this, this photoplasty was put up on Cracked.com. I point your attention to #15.
