And there's a proven problem with fake olive oil.

And this is because the Sicilian mafia, where olive oil is from, is involved in counterfeit olive oil.

So the good news is, if you're buying your olive oil from a place like Costco or Whole Foods, they have incredibly aggressive testing and enforcement.
