| FRAUD |
1/ The most common fraud is refreshing old vanilla pods by soaking them in a solution which can have an artificial vanillin base. 2/ Artificially forming hoarfrost on the pods (obtained by soaking pods in artificial vanillin) is not, in principle, considered fraud even if the process is questionable. |
| OUR OPINION | Favour this form of presentation |
