I bought 12 olive oil brands from UK supermarkets and scored them on transparency. Only 4 passed. EU fraud notifications tripled. UK testing found 1 in 5 samples failing compositional requirements. Some bottles use clear plastic that degrades the oil before you even open it. Others hide harvest dates so you can't tell if it's fresh or three years old. I built a 10-point scorecard based on official standards - PDO certification, harvest dates, origin clarity, packaging quality. The results will change how you shop. Aldi, Lidl, and one budget brand with QR traceability shocked me. Premium brands charging £15+ scored worse than discount options. This is the investigation supermarkets don't want you to see.
