This annual report covers all the information shared in 2022 within iRASFF, between members of the Alert and Cooperation Network (ACN) that includes the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed network (RASFF), the Administrative Assistance and Cooperation network (AAC) or the Agri-Food Fraud Network (FFN).
2022 shows an increase in the number of notifications shared in the AAC and FFN in comparison with previous years. This illustrates the continued commitment of Member States’ competent authorities to detect and report non-compliances, even if without health risk, or when suspected of fraudulent practice. In 2022, a high number of those notifications related to pesticide residues.
The European Commission continued to assist Member States, through both expertise and IT support to facilitate the increasing exchange of information.
Due follow-up was given to suspicious cross-border fraudulent activities, leading to launching specific actions such as the coordinated control plans on the illegal trade of pets, and to deter certain fraudulent practices in honey.
