How to distinguish real and fake foreign fruits

　　Among all imported fruits, the ones most easily counterfeited are those whose varieties are from abroad but are produced in China. For example, apples, lemons, grapes, kiwis, etc. are difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish. Distributors selected domestic fruits with beautiful appearance and uniform size, and then put English labels on them, and "foreign fruits" were born. According to incomplete statistics, about 30% to 40% of foreign fruits on the market are counterfeit.

　　Read the labels of imported fruits clearly

　　According to reports, foreign fruits need to go through procedures such as an agreement between the two governments, an administrative license for fruit importers, and on-site quarantine before they can be circulated in the Chinese market. my country has strict requirements for the labeling of imported fruit packaging boxes. For example, information such as Chinese and English names, place of origin, orchard number, processing plant number, etc. need to be marked. However, there are no clear regulations on the labeling of individual fruits. Customers rarely ask to see the labels on the packaging boxes when buying imported fruits, so unscrupulous traders take advantage of the loopholes.

　　So, how do consumers identify authenticity? Experts point out that when buying foreign fruits, you can ask the merchant to show the outer packaging box of the fruit and learn the import information of the fruit through the label on it. In addition, the taste of imported fruits is slightly different from domestic fruits. For example, imported apples have thicker skins, less sugar content, and higher vitamin C content.
