While pH is known to vary between different variety of whiskies it lacks a statistically rigorous exclusionary standard to be used as an authentication marker for Scotch whisky.

This study (purchase required) used, high-performance liquid chromatography, combined with chemometric analysis, to classify buffalo vs cows ricotta based on the profile of water soluble peptides. The authors then identified specific peptides that…
In this study (open access) the authors report the development of a simple point-of-use extraction system and spectral imaging protocol. It has potential as a point-of-use food inspection tool to check for species adulteration in processed meat.…
This online session is free for members of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), payable by invoice for non-members.
The purpose of this CIEH Conversations event is to act as a guide through approaches and processes to improve the…

This research (purchase required) presents a nanozyme-based colorimetric sensor array for effective coffee variety discrimination by analyzing characteristic components. Nanozymes are nano-scale molecules (for example, some metal oxides) that can…
Combining data from multiple analytical tests into a single classification model can give greater discrimination than a model based on a single analytical technique. There are three levels of data fusion: low-, mid- and high-level. Low-level fusion…
Analytical tests that are underpinned by statistical classification models are often based on reference sets of relatively few (in statistical terms) “authentic samples”. There is a risk that these may not reflect the entire scope of variability…
Next year's symposium of the International Association of Food Protection will be held in New Orleans, USA, 26 - 29 July 2026. The programme is still to be finalised but is likely to include at least two sessions on food fraud mitigation.…
This study (open access) builds on a previously-published proof of concept. The authors are working towards producing a hand-held multi-mode scanner (combining fluorescence, visible, NIR, and short-wave IR spectroscopy) to support species…
Authentication of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) sometimes requires a panel of different tests and – with more sophisticated adulteration – a weight of evidence interpretation. For more crude adulterations a single test is often enough.
One of the…

Here is our latest monthly graphic from the EC Reports of Agri-Food Fraud Suspicions, showing a rolling 3-month trend.
Our interpretation of the reports is subjective. In order to show consistent trends we have excluded cases which appear to be…

The use of toxic testile dyes, such as the Sudan Red group, to adulterate food has been a high risk alert since the early 2000’s. Over the past few years there have been persistent reported incidents with no apparent decline. Original watch-outs…
This paper (open access) reports the development of a classification model for the geographic origin on black tea based upon measuring a panel of 15 trace elements by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). XRF is a non-destructive technique. The only sample…

Hi Steve. I hope it's all going well. Congratulations on winning the co-ordinators' role. I'm reminded of a Groucho Marx quote - "I wouldn't want to join the sort of club that would accept someone like me as a member ...." John
