Olive oil authenticity testing underway in UK

A food and drink research firm has been chosen by the UK government to carry out authenticity testing on olive oil imported to the UK. Following the entry into force in the UK of the EU’s olive oil regulations in February 2014, the Rural Payments Agency (RPA), a UK government agency which supports the farming and food sector, selected Campden BRI after a call for submissions to test and analyze all types of olive oils imported into the UK.
