Pasta carbonara is one of the most fake Italian recipes among foreigners. Almost 6 out of 10 Italians (57%) traveling abroad have come across distorted versions of our cuisine.
Coldiretti is protesting at Brenner on Monday 8 April against the phenomenon of fake in Italy. The lack of clarity on Made in Italy recipes offers "fertile ground for the proliferation of fake Italian food products abroad", Coldiretti concludes. The fake food industry is worth 120 billion euros and is cause of economic damage, but also of image.
