Which? uncovers fake goats' cheese being sold in the shops - we became suspicious about the large amount of goats' cheese on sale, despite a goats' milk shortage.
We were concerned that goats' cheese manufacturers could be substituting goats' milk for other milks. So we joined forces with the author of the government's independent review into food crime, Professor Elliott, to investigate.
We bought 76 samples of goats' cheese from supermarkets, delis and markets from eight locations around the UK and tested them to see what they really were.
In total, nine samples were adulterated: three contained more than 80% sheep's cheese, another three contained more than 50% sheep's cheese, and the final three around 5% sheep's cheese.
