Information
Adulterated oregano
In April 2016 Choice tested oregano samples from 12 brands and found that only 5 were 100% oregano. The other seven, including a brand from this company, contained between 50% and 90% ingredients other than oregano, such as olive leaves. Choice referred the matter to the ACCC. As a result this company has agreed to only use 100% oregano and undertake regular testing. (http://bit.ly/2hy8ChE)
