In this recorded conversation (open access), Karen Constable (Director, Authentic Food) and John Points (Technical Director, FAN) discuss the role of analysis in a modern fraud prevention strategy.
Our conversation ranges across topics integral to FAN including:
- tools in the toolkit of food fraud prevention and mitigation best practice
- when and where to use testing within that toolkit,
- how to select a test that is fit for purpose,
- how to find a laboratory that can meet your needs,
- how to interpret the significance of results
- what action to take on "suspicious" results.
The discussion is particularly focussed on free or low-cost resources that are of practical use to Small and Medium Enterprises in the food sector, and practical steps that SMEs can take to reduce the chance of falling victim to fraud. We signpost lots of resources that are freely available, including the new Food Industry Intelligence Network's SME Hub.
