Olive oil fraud is an issue that affects many stakeholders, from consumers to olive growers. Developing effective methods for quality control, and understanding stakeholder needs is critical to solving this problem. We set aside our research several times throughout the summer to explore stakeholder needs and to better understand quality issues in the olive oil industry on a practical level. This led us to attend a public hearing at the State Capitol on the topic of new California standards, to understand demand for quality control amongst multiple groups of stakeholders. We also met with producers and millers at their production facilities to garner their perspective on how a biosensor could meet their respective needs. Lastly, to discover if the public would change buying habits in response to accessible quality control, we conducted several olive oil tastings at a local grocer and collected data. We synthesized our understanding of stakeholder needs in our final summary.
