We have launched a new resource page (see 3rd tab) on our Food Crime webpages in order to collate estimates of the economic cost of food fraud. If you are aware of other studies we can add to the three already cited then please let us know and we will add them to the page.
Estimates are inherently uncertain but the numbers are staggering. Typically an annual $30 - $50 billion USD globally. And that is just economic cost. It is important to remember that food fraud often has a cost to human health or even life.
