Food Fraud
Food fraud refers to the deliberate act of deceiving consumers or customers for economic gain by adulterating, mislabeling, or misrepresenting food products. It involves the intentional substitution, dilution, or addition of inferior or cheaper ingredients, mislabeling of origin or quality, or other fraudulent practices within the food supply chain.
Food fraud can occur at various stages of the supply chain, including production, processing, packaging, distribution, and retail. It can involve a wide range of food products, such as olive oil, honey, seafood, dairy products, spices, alcoholic beverages, and more. Common examples of food fraud include:
Adulteration, Substitution, Mislabeling, Counterfeiting
Food fraud poses significant risks to consumer health, undermines trust in the food industry, and can have negative economic impacts. Consuming adulterated or mislabeled products may lead to allergenic reactions, illness, or even fatalities, especially if harmful substances are added. It also creates unfair competition for honest food producers and erodes consumer confidence in food safety and quality.
