safefood has produced a guide for food manufacturing businesses to help protect their businesses from food fraud.
The guide is open access and is available at Protect your business from food fraud | safefood
The Food Authenticity Network Team is delighted to note that the Food Authenticity Network is cited as one of the resources!
The safefood guide has also been placed in the 'Guidance tab' of the 'Tools and Guides section' of the Food Fraud Prevention part of this website.
