No. of times repeated: 12

Coffee is known as counterfeit food because in most cases the quality of coffee beans is not good enough and it’s mixed with other products to increase the quantity. Often the coffee is labeled as the best among all as it’s sourced from a particular region, whereas it’s sourced from somewhere else. The sellers might restack expired coffee and sell it as brand new. Mostly the coffee is not stored or processed properly but is still sold as a premium quality coffee.
