I am not sure anyone outside of an enormous media giant or a government could publish such a report. You would need millions for legal fees in reserve.

Little food fraud research ever publishes the offenders unless they are small restaurants and I suspect it is for that reason.

I don't buy it. Posting data measurements would be even more objective than reviewing products yet scathing product reviews aren't litigated, so where is this hunch coming from?

Can you post examples of litigation from revealing measurements of branded food products? It doesn't seem to stop anyone from posting heavy metal content in chocolate bar brands.

Most notable case was in Canada.

CBC was sued by Subway for figuring out that their chicken was less chicken than one might think.
