This review conducted by an expert group of ILSI (International Life Science Institute) Europe details the numerous activities by authorities undertaken within different regions (Europe, North America, Asia, Latin America, and Africa) to counter food fraud. It defines "food inauthenticity" in terms of misrepresentation of a food within a contractual agreement, and/or misrepresentation of a food within a legal obligation (i.e non-compliance of the law). It also describes the guidance available to the food industry to understand how to assess the vulnerability of their businesses, and implement the appropriate mitigation.

This paper develops a conceptual framework to decide when to implement analytical testing programmes for fraud, and a framework to consider the economic costs of fraud and the benefits of its early detection. Factors associated with statistical sampling for fraud detection were considered. Choice of sampling location on the overall food-chain may influence the likelihood of fraud detection.

The paper is the final Scientific Opinion (SO) paper in a series of 6 SO papers developed in the EU Project FoodIntegrity.

The full open access paper is available here. Access to the other 5 Scientific Opinion papers is in the publications section of the FoodIntegrity website.
