Dear folks,
Would anyone know what this is? I considered "fake additive" but I'm not entirely sure if this is correct.
The context is a list of services offered by an agri-food company:
Analisi di contaminanti chimici ambientali e additivi fraudolenti
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance.

fraudulent use of unapproved/banned additives
There are various references on the internet to the term 'fraudulent' when referring to additives. I think the term 'fraudulent use' helps to render the idea of intentionally wishing to mislead consumers, i.e. presenting adulterated food. The trm 'unapproved additive' comes from the regulation of food and dietary supplements of the US Food and Drug Adminsitration
Example sentence:
improper use of food additives
Note from asker:
Thanks Colum and Lara, I think unapproved sounds the most likely |

banned additive
Probably they mean "used illegally".
By the way, the singular is "fraudolento" :)
