How can customers be sure that top of the range products are actually the best quality?

Series uncovering the tricks used by food manufacturers and supermarkets. How can customers be sure that top of the range products are actually the best quality?

When a customer wants to push the boat out and buy the best - a premium oil or a favourite fish - how does he or she avoid a fake or low-grade product that has been passed off as top quality? People think they are eating cod - but could it actually be Vietnamese catfish? And what about ham that has never been near a pig or the cheese that is milk-free? The programme reveals how to spot the foods that promise top quality but turn out to be duds.
