SUSPICION CONFIRMED!

SUSPICION CONFIRMED!

Uploaded: April 01, 2005 04:12:43

Description

After finding an "albino" pepper in the bin at a local produce market, I began to wonder about the various colored peppers. A hidden camera set up in the backroom with the help of the Consumer Affairs Department revealed this deceptive practice. See discussion for more on this topic.
Available light, remotely controlled hidden camera.

Producing "produce" seems to be a fairly common practice in the industry. Some of you may recall my earlier hidden camera revelation of deceptive produce practices. You can find it at:
