Truffle Oil: The Dark Side of Labeling

This bottle of “Truffle Oil” was part of a gorgeous Mishloach Manot/birthday present basket I received from my daughter Bella. Reading the ingredient list created an uproar among my guests. Not a single drop of truffle oil. Intrigued, I looked online for the price, which created some more consternation….I am hoping this image and the blurb that came with it tell the whole story. The price shown is for an 8-ounce bottle.
