Alert: Dozens of Fraudulent Olive Oil Labels on Israeli Store Shelves

Although the incidence of phony olive oil is diminishing, dozens of fraudulent products are still sold in Eretz Yisroel. The National Unit for the Enforcement of the Law Against Kashrus Fraud in Eretz Yisroel has issued a warning against fake olive oil brands hitting the shelves for Chanukah.

Some bottles of oil bearing false kashrus labels were seized last year and the year before, but the list also includes fake oils caught in recent years because they are still being sold.

Fake olive oil can often be detected based on rock-bottom prices of 10-20 shekel.
