If you’ve ever looked at the ingredients list while grocery shopping, chances are you’ve seen

the term “natural flavors”. But have you taken a 26

flavors actually are?

Most of us might think that “natural flavors” are, well, naturally good for us. A recent study

in the journal Appetite found that when the word “natural” appears on packaging, people

27 that the food within is indeed healthier. In truth, natural flavors do not 28

least chemically speaking, from their flavor-boosting 29

30 smell or taste.

Natural flavors come from plant or animal 31 , like fruit, vegetable, meat, fish or milk

that is then processed or refined in some way. In short, natural flavors are 32 from plants and

animals to create specific flavors for processed foods. But that doesn’t 33 make it easier to tell

what’s really in your food. Because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not 3 4the term,

companies can use it to refer to pretty much anything derived from a plant or animal. And natural

flavors can also include a variety of chemical additives, such as preservatives. The FDA doesn’t

require companies to reveal what additional chemicals a specific item 35 .

So if you want to know for certain what you’re getting with your groceries, you might want

to stick to the farmer’s market.

Fake holiday villa websites prompt warning

A) During the British winter, the thought of two weeks in a coastal villa ( 别墅) with

soul-stirring views of the sea and a huge pool to enjoy is enough to offset ( 抵 消 ) the labor

until the holidays start. For a growing number of people, however, their yearly break is

turning into a nightmare as they find that the property they have paid thousands for does not

exist and the website through which they booked it has disappeared.

B) Consumers have been warned to be aware of the potential for deception in this market, which

is far from uncommon. In 2017 there were 1,632 cases of reported “villa fraud (诈骗)”, with

victims losing an average of ?2,052, according to Action Fraud, the national center for

reporting such frauds. “Millions of pounds are lost each year by holidaymakers,” says Sean

Tipton of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA).

C) The problem has ballooned in the last 10 years, with frauds becoming more and more

sophisticated. The fake websites have authentic-sounding names involving a mix of keywords,

typically including the place name, “summer”, “villas” or “rentals”. Details of legitimate (合

法的) villas are often stolen from other sites. “When the fraudsters first started it was

unsophisticated – the websites looked amateur and there wasn’t a lot of effort,” says Tipton.

“Now they are clever. They extensively rip off legitimate websites and use a different website

name. They’ll have pictures of a sales team and it might be a poor actor in New York that is

down as their head of sales.”

D) Fraudsters target popular seaside destinations for British tourists visiting Spain where prices

can soar if demand exceeds supply. Prices are kept within reasonable ranges to avoid arousing

suspicion. “A villa might cost ?5,000 elsewhere and they will offer it at say ?3,500. But a bit

of a giveaway is that the villa will be cheaper than on other websites and there’s unlimited

availability,” says Tipton. Fraudsters also invest in pay-per-click advertising to feature at the

top of search engines when people type in phrases such as “Spanish seaside villas”.

E) With such a degree of professionalism, how can consumers find out if the website they’re

looking to book with is trustworthy? “When people book holiday villas they are doing so

through rose-colored glasses,” says Tony Neate, chief executive of Get Safe Online. “They

should be Googling the property, and looking on websites like Google Maps and StreetView

to see if it’s there. Also, speak to the person you’re booking the villa with on a landline phone,

as fraudsters tend to only use mobiles.” He also suggests asking someone not going on the

holiday to have a look at the website. “They might spot problems you don’t spot.” Another
