Fake oregano being sold in Australia
CUSTOMERS are getting ripped off with less than half of dried oregano products on supermarket shelves consisting of 100 per cent oregano, a consumer group says. Choice says it tested samples of 12 oregano products and found seven of them adulterated with olive and sumac leaves.
MasterFoods, Woolworths Select, Coles, McCormick and Herbies Spices were the only brands containing 100 per cent oregano leaves. Olive leaves and other ingredients were found in Aldi’s Stonemill product, Master of Spices, Hoyt’s, Spice & Co, Menora, Spencers and G. Fresh.
