I have no idea how widespread the problem is or which countries may be
affected, and fortunately haven't come across it where I am. I doubt
it's a huge problem - just something to be aware of.

I've been buying mine locally and can at least get to taste it before
buying. AFAIK they can't imitate the flavour of the real deal, so
that's one way to check... by tasting it.
