Crime food.

A new problem of our times is 'crime food'. Criminal gangs are selling billions of dollars of fake food to supermarkets around the world. The food could be very dangerous. In Britain, tons of horse meat ended up in products that were labeled as beef. British police recently found a product that used cheaper peanut powder instead of almond flour. This could kill a lot of people. Infact in China, in 2008, six babies died because of fake milk. In it, there was fake milk powder.
 Gangs can make a lot of money from fake food. It is also safer than selling drugs. The assistant director of Interpol, Michael Ellis, told the BBC that food crime is very similar to the drugs trade. The British government said it was a difficult problem to tackle. It said that using technology might be the only way to beat the criminal gangs.
