Food fraud (24 October)
Adulteration of food could be due to supply chain issues, economic motives or criminal activity. Examples include horse meat substituted for beef but most food commodities are susceptible and this has a knock-on impact on consumer confidence.
However, for industry it presents many challenges to stop and ensure traceability throughout all suppliers.
