How to protect yourself?
Read the requirements for storage. Natural honey doesn’t necessarily need to be kept in the fridge.
Sushi
This reddish slice on the roll is most likely not salmon. In most cases, when ordering sushi and rolls with a certain type of fish, you get a cheaper variant (sometimes even colored).
How to protect yourself?
If you really want fish, it’s better to order it in steak form.
Rice
Among all the fakes, this might be the most dangerous. The fake rice in the picture above is made from starch mixed with plastic. The grains are similar to rice and even smell the same – they’re sprayed with flavoring.
How to protect yourself?
Fake rice doesn’t sink in water, and it burns like plastic. When buying, pay attention to the manufacturer, and trust only tested brands.
