According to 60 Minutes, most of the olive oil you buy at the big box store in the US is not actually olive oil:

I just read an article on this but what gets my goat is they never call out the names of the brands in most of them.
We have a right to know who we can trust and who is sending fakes.
All they say is you can trust California Olive oil.
This sends up a red flag in fraudulent or incomplete reporting possibly meant to promote California Olive oil.
This wont be the first time something like this has went on.
Speaking of fraud right here in the US is wine.
There is no such thing as Marsala Or Madeira wine made and bottled in New York state or Texas.
But yet the US lets them get away with it.

Yes there is fraud but by not pointing out the brands they leave us with little choice.
All they are doing is planting the seed of doubt.
