It has been known for several years now, cigarette makers added all sorts of ingredients to create a dependency. We find this kind of substances in several other products, too. Is it possible that this same process is now gaining restaurateurs, in order to build customer loyalty?

Some restaurants rely on seamless service or developed a fresh menu to satisfy their customers and keep them coming back as often as possible.

It seems that this is insufficient for some restaurants. Customer loyalty is a primary goal and to achieve it, nothing is impossible, not even cheating.

Thus two Chinese restaurants have recently been accused of using unorthodox methods to get customers back. The National Agency has indeed found traces of poppy seeds in food.

You should know that morphine and opium, two powerful addictive drugs, are made from poppies.

Fortunately, the amount recovered is rather low; the customer life is not in danger. Ownerswere even fined a few thousand dollars.

Do you believe that practice is more widespread than we think?
