Synopsis
Contaminated food products like baby formula present a problem with a long, colorful history. In the first chapter of SWINDLED: THE DARK HISTORY OF FOOD FRAUD, Bee Wilson introduces us to Frederick Accum, the chemist who wrote a popular book on adulterated food in 1820. Then as now, dangerous and deceptive practices in food processing flourish in the anonymous urban environment and where food comes to the consumer along extended supply chains. Wilson stresses the need for government regulation but acknowledges the power of free trade ideology. She sees the benefits of knowing one's food supplier and the important role of food science. DNA analysis can now ensure the authenticity of basmati rice.

Publisher's Note
The author of The Hive: The Story of the Honeybee and Us uncovers the many ways in which swindlers have cheapened, falsified, tampered with, and even poisoned food throughout history, in a study that calls for both governments and individuals to be more vigilant.
