Food Substitution & Adulteration

Food adulteration is the deliberate degradation of the quality of food offered for sale, either by the addition of inferior ingredients or the removal of a valuable ingredient. Food adulteration occurs globally and in various ways, affecting virtually all food commodities. Adulteration is not only a big financial issue, but it can also cause serious health issues for consumers.

As the name implies, a food replacement is a dietary supplement designed to replace one or more meals per day. Substitutes that have been approved by the medical community have all of the properties that the body needs to stay healthy and sound.
