This monthly highlights report has been produced for FAN members by one of our Partner organisations, iComplai.
The report is an AI-generated prioritised digest. It is blended from online regulatory and media reports of food fraud incidents and suspicions, giving a summary of each selected issue and suggested mitigation steps.
iComplai are one of a number of commercial providers of digital horizon scanning tools, many of whom are signposted by FAN on our Incident Trends hub. We do not endorse any specific company. We are grateful to iComplai for providing this free digest which we hope you find useful.
It is noteable that iComplai's analysis includes common themes to many current reports of suspicion and watch-out trends, irrespective of their data sources or purpose:
- Unregistered food production sites, linked to faked documentation with falsified registration details
- Repackaging or over-labelling of date-expired foods with false expiry dates
- The continued use of dyes - particularly Sudan reds - to disguise adulteration of spices and oils
If you know of any other trending or insight tools which are not on our Trends hub and would be beneficial to signpost to our membership, or if you are interested in becoming a FAN Partner, then please get in touch.
