22 Jul 2021 --- Rampant cases of food and beverage fraud have been uncovered across several EU markets in a recent crackdown led by Europol and Interpol. Fake honey made with corn syrup and sugar alterations accounted for a significant volume of confiscated goods. In addition, major infringements on alcoholic drinks led to seizures of 1.7 million liters of beverage products, while illegal horse meat was also targeted. The coordinated operation, codenamed OPSON 2020, is the tenth of its kind. It ran from December 2020 to June 2021 and involved law enforcement authorities from 72 countries, including 26 EU member states.
