意大利八成特级初榨橄榄油系勾兑 http://www.sina.com.cn 2011年12月29日02:42 新京报 微博 　　本报讯 (记者沈玮青)意大利媒体26日披露，意大利警方和农业协会联合展开调查发现，该国橄榄油生产商将来自希腊、西班牙、摩洛哥和突尼斯等国的廉价橄榄油掺兑，冒充特级初榨橄榄油销售。调查报告称，该国出产橄榄油中5瓶中4瓶为勾兑。　　知名品牌牵涉其中　　意大利是欧洲第二大橄榄油生产国，每年橄榄油产值约为50亿欧元。但是近期意大利调查部门发现，该国橄榄油进出口总量出现严重偏差，进口量高达47万吨，但出口仅25万吨。调查部门对此产生怀疑，经过调查发现了其中缘由。　　调查显示，这一造假行为由意大利进口和销售公司联合会牵头，大部分集中在意大利中部和南部。13家意大利最大橄榄油制造商被卷入，其中一些是知名品牌。报道称，这一联合组织不仅控制了橄榄油价格，还操纵市场。而这些劣质油不仅销售至海外，也在国内流通。　　中国市场35.7%来自意　　27日，记者打电话询问了一家位于上海的橄榄油工厂。该工厂网站上称，其特级初榨橄榄油100%来自于意大利南部优质橄榄品种。该公司工作人员表示，对上述新闻并不知情，目前该产品生产及销售一切正常。　　这家工厂品管部工作人员李先生告诉记者，该公司生产的橄榄油原料全部是意大利进口，然后在上海分装。这些原料经由海关检验、确认产品质量合格后才会放行。他表示，该公司目前并未接到供货商有关上述调查通知。　　中国驻米兰总领事馆经济商务室援引某意大利媒体消息称，2010年，中国进口的意大利纯/特纯等级橄榄油总量达6502吨，超过前年的两倍。意大利产橄榄油已占到中国进口橄榄油总量的35.7%，直逼位居第一的西班牙。　　■ 背景　　美国也有假冒橄榄油　　假冒特级初榨橄榄油横行，分析人士认为一部分是因为其苛刻的制作过程，该产品要求必须用上等橄榄鲜果在24小时内压榨出来的纯天然果汁经油水分离制成。其压榨方法采用纯物理低温压榨方法，无任何防腐剂和添加剂。　　据悉，目前几乎一半的意大利橄榄油都出产于普利亚区，在这里有大约5000万至6000万橄榄树，由于此地降水与河流稀少，居民多以种植橄榄为生。　　早在2007年，纽约时报就曾刊文披露，在特级初榨橄榄油行业中存在掺假行为，该文作者汤姆·穆勒指出，美国是世界上第三大橄榄油消费国，而在美国市场销售的2/3特级橄榄油为勾兑产品。　　穆勒批评美国食品和药品质量监督总局却没有划拨预算检测市场上的橄榄油质量，更没有立法来规范市场。西雅图新闻评论网站《捷径》也指出，一些商人甚至拿混有豆油和葵花籽油的产品充当特级橄榄油。　　该网站文章还称，虽然易于检测出这些假冒橄榄油，但是却很难提起诉讼。让人记忆犹新的是，20年前在西班牙，300名民众吃了假冒橄榄油不治身亡，但是调查无果而终。　　而在意大利一些造假商人则与政客勾结，汤姆·穆勒说前总理贝卢斯科尼不尊重法律的做法也在一定程度上助长造假。

回复: 有人认为来了加拿大，食品假货少。The trade in adulterated olive oil. 上文提到的文章：汤姆·穆勒很多跨国大公司卷入其中 by Tom Mueller August 13, 2007 “Fraud is so widespread that few growers can make an honest living,” one expert says. On August 10, 1991, a rusty tanker called the Mazal II docked at the industrial port of Ordu, in Turkey, and pumped twenty-two hundred tons of hazelnut oil into its hold. The ship then embarked on a meandering voyage through the Mediterranean and the North Sea. By September 21st, when the Mazal II reached Barletta, a port in Puglia, in southern Italy, its cargo had become, on the ship’s official documents, Greek olive oil. It slipped through customs, possibly with the connivance of an official, was piped into tanker trucks, and was delivered to the refinery of Riolio, an Italian olive-oil producer based in Barletta. There it was sold—in some instances blended with real olive oil—to Riolio customers.Between August and November of 1991, the Mazal II and another tanker, the Katerina T., delivered nearly ten thousand tons of Turkish hazelnut oil and Argentinean sunflower-seed oil to Riolio, all identified as Greek olive oil. Riolio’s owner, Domenico Ribatti, grew rich from the bogus oil, assembling substantial real-estate holdings, including a former department store in Bari. He bribed two officials, one with cash, the other with cartons of olive oil, and made trips to Rome, where he stayed at the Grand Hotel, and met with other unscrupulous olive-oil producers from Italy and abroad. As one of Italy’s leading importers of olive oil, Ribatti’s company was a member of ASSITOL, the country’s powerful olive-oil trade association, and Ribatti had enough clout in Rome to ask a favor—preferential treatment of an associate’s nephew, who was seeking admission to a military officers’ school—of a high-ranking official at the Finance Ministry, a fellow-pugliese. However, by early 1992 Ribatti and his associates were under investigation by the Guardia di Finanza, the Finance Ministry’s military-police force. One officer, wearing a miniature video camera on his tie, posed as a waiter at a lunch hosted by Ribatti at the Grand Hotel. Others, eavesdropping on telephone calls among Riolio executives, heard the rustle of bribe money being counted out. During the next two years, the Guardia di Finanza team, working closely with agents of the European Union’s anti-fraud office, pieced together the details of Ribatti’s crime, identifying Swiss bank accounts and Caribbean shell companies that Ribatti had used to buy the ersatz olive oil. The investigators discovered that seed and hazelnut oil had reached Riolio’s refinery by tanker truck and by train, as well as by ship, and they found stocks of hazelnut oil waiting in Rotterdam for delivery to Riolio and other olive-oil companies.The investigators also discovered where Ribatti’s adulterated oil had gone: to some of the largest producers of Italian olive oil, among them Nestlé, Unilever, Bertolli, and Oleifici Fasanesi, who sold it to consumers as olive oil, and collected about twelve million dollars in E.U. subsidies intended to support the olive-oil industry. (These companies claimed that they had been swindled by Ribatti, and prosecutors were unable to prove complicity on their part.) http://www.condenaststore.com/-sp/Is-that-the-corporate-rate-New-Yorker-Cartoon-Prints_i8474355_.htm?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=NewYorker&utm_content=Cartoons&AID=1247905545In 1997 and 1998, olive oil was the most adulterated agricultural product in the European Union, prompting the E.U.’s anti-fraud office to establish an olive-oil task force. (“Profits were comparable to cocaine trafficking, with none of the risks,” one investigator told me.) The E.U. also began phasing out subsidies for olive-oil producers and bottlers, in an effort to reduce crime, and after a few years it disbanded the task force. Yet fraud remains a major international problem: olive oil is far more valuable than most other vegetable oils, but it is costly and time-consuming to produce—and surprisingly easy to doctor. Adulteration is especially common in Italy, the world’s leading importer, consumer, and exporter of olive oil. (For the past ten years, Spain has produced more oil than Italy, but much of it is shipped to Italy for packaging and is sold, legally, as Italian oil.) “The vast majority of frauds uncovered in the food-and-beverage sector involve this product,” Colonel Leopoldo Maria De Filippi, the commander for the northern half of Italy of the N.A.S. Carabinieri, an anti-adulteration group run under the auspices of the Ministry of Health, told me. In Puglia, which produces about forty per cent of Italy’s olives, growers have been in a near-constant state of crisis for more than a decade. “Thousands of olive-oil producers are victims of this ‘drugged’ market,” Antonio Barile, the president of the Puglia chapter of a major farmers’ union, told me, referring to illegal importations of seed oils and cheap olive oil from outside the E.U., which undercut local farmers. Instead of supporting small growers who make distinctive, premium oils, the Italian government has consistently encouraged quan-tity over quality, to the benefit of large companies that sell bulk oil. It has not implemented a national plan for oil production, has employed a byzantine system for distributing agricultural subsidies, and has often failed to enforce Italian laws and E.U. regulations intended to prevent fraud. The government has been so lax in pursuing some oil crimes that it can seem complicit. In 2000, the European Court of Auditors reported that Italy was responsible for eighty-seven per cent of misappropriated E.U. subsidies to olive-oil bottlers in the preceding fifteen years, and that the government had recovered only a fraction of the money. Paolo De Castro, who was appointed Italy’s agriculture minister in 2006, told me that olive-oil fraud has been a problem in the past but that he was taking action to curb it. “In the past few years, we have tightened things up a lot, through our Inspectorate for Quality Control, and through our carabinieri corps,” he said. One problem is that Italian officials charged with detecting adulterated oil can, in theory, be held liable for their actions. “Who’s going to take this responsibility?” asked Lanfranco Conte, a professor of food chemistry at the University of Udine, who in the early nineties was the head of a laboratory belonging to the Agriculture Ministry’s anti-fraud unit. “If you decide to block three thousand tons of oil and it turns out you were wrong, you pay out of your own pocket.” Colonel De Filippi acknowledged that some companies are essentially immune to investigation. “Unfortunately, there are big producers who have strong political ties,” he said.
