The Authenticity Methodology Working Group (AMWG) evaluates scientific research developed within the UK Department of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs’ Food Authenticity Research Programme, ensuring methods developed are robust and advising on the wider application of methods.
This webpage provides a summary of the group’s work in 2025. All have been previously reported on FAN but the annual summary is a useful collation with links to individual project reports. They include advice on research projects:
- Bottled water sampling: 3rd country spring water vs bottled drinking water
- Offal detection and speciation in meat products
- British heritage sheep meat traceability system:
- Honey NMR database
- New testing methodology for honey authentication
- Methods for oil authentication
It also includes the committee’s consultation response to proposed research on measuring folic acid in flour and authenticating alternative proteins.
