    Criminal gangs are selling billions of dollars worth of fake and dangerous food globally. They replace ingredients like peanut powder with cheaper alternatives that can seriously harm people with allergies. In China, fake milk powder killed six babies in 2008. Gangs profit from fake food because penalties are lower than for selling drugs. Police in many countries are finding unsafe counterfeit products like sweets dyed with poisonous chemicals. Tackling food crime is difficult as the methods used by criminals are similar to drug trafficking. Technology may be needed to detect fake foods and stop criminal networks from endangering public safety.

    I – PART ONE: READING (15points)
    A- Comprehension: ( 8pts)
    There is a new and growing danger with the food we eat. Criminal gangs are selling
    billions of dollars of fake food to supermarkets around the world. The food could be very
    dangerous. In the past few years, there have been some high-profile scandals. In Britain,
    tons of horse meat ended up in products that were labeled as beef. British police recently
    found a product that used cheaper peanut powder instead of almond flour. This could
    seriously harm or kill people with peanut allergies. In 2008, six babies died in China after
    gangs made and sold fake milk powder. Gangs can make a lot of money from fake food. It
    is also safer than selling drugs for the gangs because the penalties are lower.
    The assistant director of Interpol, Michael Ellis, told the BBC that food crime is very
    similar to the drugs trade. He said: "In my experience, the patterns used by criminals
    involved in counterfeiting are very similar to those used in the dealing of drugs." He said
    police in 33 countries showed that food crime is a serious international problem. The
    police found children's candies that were dyed with a poisonous chemical, 430,000 litres
    of fake drinks and 22 tons of long-grain rice that was labeled as high-quality basmati rice.
    The British government said it was a difficult problem to tackle. It said that using
    technology might be the only way to beat the criminal gangs.
