00:01Europe's best food safety experts are joining forces to crack down on fraud.

00:06Euronews is following them in this special series called The Food Detectives.

00:10In this episode, we're following the team fighting counterfeit olive oil in Italy.

00:23Every drop of olive oil has its own story.

00:26But sometimes, what looks like the real deal is in fact counterfeit.

00:32L'olio d'oliva è il cibo che è più soggetto ad adulterazioni a frodi tra tutti i generi alimentari.

00:42È facile miscelarlo con oli valore minore, con oli di semi, con altri composti che ne alterano la qualità.

00:52Such fraud may impact consumer health and it's done for easy profit.

00:58L'olio può variare da poco a un altissimo valore.

01:02Quindi c'è una grossa forchetta all'interno del quale si possono verificare le frodi.

01:06Questo viene aggravato dal fatto che la catena del valore dell'olio è estremamente frammentata.

01:12So, olive oil maker Antonella Meyer Mashvili is working with the food detectives

01:18from the EU's Watson project and their mission to beat fraud.

01:22Her secret weapon is genetic code.

01:25She uses DNA tests to guarantee the identity of her oils.

01:29We have chosen to analyze our oils in DNA to create more transparency, more confidence with our consumers.

01:41Many producers do marketing with photos of millennial trees,

01:47but in the end it's not the oil of these trees.

01:50And we, to make ourselves credible, have this certification.

01:54Such genetic testing is still very rare among olive oil producers as it takes time and money.

02:12Until today it's only been done in research labs.

02:16But the food detectives are now bringing the lab directly to the mill.

02:20Release our DNA.

02:22Greek biotech experts Stelios Arhandakis and Sophia Tsikaraki

02:26are developing a solution to make DNA testing more accessible and easier to carry out.

02:32We just opened the door for the first time in the world

02:37to do a DNA testing of an olive oil outside of a lab.

02:41We are introducing a device called FillDNA.

02:45This device allows to isolate DNA from an olive oil sample in fill conditions.

02:54So that's it. We are ready to analyze our DNA.

03:00The food detectives' portable DNA kit still needs refining, but it's on the right track.

03:06The development of a technology is always a challenge because you need to validate,

03:12you need to test it, you need to optimize until you reach a good performance.

03:17And be sure that you have something that is solid.

03:20It is a path that we are under now, we're investigating.

03:24Hopefully to be able to launch this product within the next month, year.

03:30Producers, millers and packagers across Umbria welcome the innovation.

03:37It's the base, it's what can help us, we olive oil farmers,

03:45to protect the territory and the product we do.

03:48To have an analysis that guarantees that that product comes from that plant,

03:53it's the most beautiful thing we can do.

03:55The Watson project gives us clarity and the consumer is asking and looking for it more.

04:04Following the DNA tests, the food detectives are taking traceability one step further

04:09by giving each bottle a digital passport, too.

04:13All the data that, during the production of olive oil production,

04:17are collected in the blockchain,

04:20but are made accessible to the consumer,

04:24which can easily access, through Aquair Code,

04:28through the entire history of olive oil,

04:31from the field where olive oil are being produced,

04:34to the number of the bottle that is acquired.

04:38That's it for this episode of the Food Detectives.

04:45Please head over to our website for more reports on beating fraud

04:49and boosting traceability in meat, fish, dairy, honey and wine.

04:55See you soon.
