Food manufacturer Cento is committing “tomato fraud,” lawsuit alleges

Two California residents are suing Cento Fine Foods, alleging the company engaged in “tomato fraud” by claiming that the tomatoes in one of its canned products are the authentic “San Marzano Certified” version from Italy. The plaintiffs claim that Cento’s “Certified San Marzano” labeling is “false, misleading and unfair,” alleging that the product lacks an official designation from an Italian tomato authority. Cento’s tomatoes also lack the quality and taste of real fruit, the plaintiffs said in the lawsuit. In “the way Champagne can only be produced in the Champagne region of France, real San Marzanos can only be grown, processed and canned in a specific region of Italy,” the lawsuit states. New Jersey-based Cento Fine Foods did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A former Minnesota state trooper alleged this week that his bosses at the state Department of Human Services tried to bully him into quashing his findings of fraud in the state’s child care funding program. Jay Swanson, a former criminal investigator for the DHS, also revealed that it was well known among Somali refugees in East Africa that Minnesota was the best place to go in the US to pull off child care fraud schemes. And then, Gov. Tim Walz came into office — and Swanson’s entire department investigating waste, fraud and abuse was eliminated, according to Republican lawmakers.

Justice Department says it has prosecuted $500 million in healthcare, COVID fraud claims in 3 states

Article Dig Deeper The Justice Department said this week that it has wrapped up health care fraud investigations in three states which had cost Americans over $500 million among the respective parties. The announcement comes the same week that the Justice Department created its National Fraud Enforcement Division, which is a major step in the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on misuse of public funds. The Justice Department said it has finished its healthcare fraud investigations in California, Florida and Nevada and secured either guilty pleas, settlements or sentences.

“Thanks to the leadership of President Donald Trump, the department, working closely with the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, is supercharging efforts to take down every fraudster and bring them to justice,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said. “In one day, the Department prosecuted the theft of a half-billion in taxpayer dollars. All those ripping off the American people are on notice.” The largest haul came from California, where a scheme defrauded American consumers of $269.1 million, according to the Daily Signal. Paul Randall, 66, of Orange, pleaded guilty this week for his role in the pharmacy plot. Two others pleaded guilty in the scheme in 2024 and 2025.

The fraud crisis in Minnesota has been a big focus for the Trump administration, and Vice President JD Vance hosted the first meeting of a new fraud task force Friday at the White House. Vance, who briefly spoke to the press before the group held a closed-door meeting, was joined about half of President Trump’s cabinet secretaries and senior administration officials assigned to the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. The vice president said that the federal government for decades had not taken the issue of fraud seriously and that it needed to be tackled with “a whole-government approach.” “This is not just the theft of the American people’s money,” Vance said. “It is also the theft of critical services that the American people rely on.”
