Consumers need to be sure about the quality and origin of the foods they eat. Food fraud jeopardizes product authenticity, causes economic damage, and can pose a risk to consumers’ health. Mérieux NutriSciences offers food companies long-standing scientific expertise to prevent and reduce food adulteration, thereby safeguarding food authenticity.
Food Fraud is the deliberate production and/or commercialization of non-compliant food for economic gain that could impact consumers’ health.
According to the GFSI, frauds can be of different nature:
| GFSI Types of Fraud | Definition by SSAFE |
| Dilution | Mixing a liquid ingredient of high value with a liquid of lower value |
| Substitution | Replacing an ingredient or part of a product with another of lower value |
| Concealment | Hiding the low quality of a food ingredient or product |
| Unapproved enhancement | Adding unknown/undeclared materials to food products in order to enhance their quality attribute |
| Mislabeling | Placing false claims on packaging |
| Counterfeiting | Copying the brand, name, processing, etc. of food products for economic gain |
When dealing with food fraud and authenticity, many factors must be considered, necessitating an integrated approach on a case-by-case basis. This includes evaluating the product, the specific food chain, historical data, socio-economic trends, and more.
Our full-service offering covers active monitoring of food frauds and alerts worldwide, supported by dedicated consulting to assess risks, the design of preventive measures and mitigation plans, and the delivery of customized analytical protocols to tackle adulteration.
A thorough risk assessment is essential for brand protection and compliance with laws and international standards like BRC, IFS, or FSCC. It furnishes crucial information to prevent potential issues and manage them effectively.
The food fraud risk assessment delves into products and/or raw materials individually, considering various parameters such as supply chain, origin, suppliers, historical data, types and frequency of controls, and product claims. A comprehensive risk assessment includes ongoing monitoring, an efficient alert system, and comprehensive data analysis.
Mérieux NutriSciences supports food companies in fraud risk assessment with dedicated monitoring tool and alert system, on-site evaluation and the knowledge of the international network of experts:
Mérieux NutriSciences supports food companies in fraud risk assessment with dedicated monitoring tools and alert systems, on-site evaluations, and leveraging our international network of experts:
Based on the outcomes of the risk assessment, appropriate mitigation measures are defined to reduce risks. This involves identifying methods to control specific food fraud vulnerabilities such as monitoring, testing, origin verification, and anti-counterfeiting technologies.
Mérieux NutriSciences offers specialized technical services to define specific analytical profiles, with the most relevant and cost-effective analytical methods tailored for each matrix, along with protocols involving traceability solutions to monitor the supply chain over time. Training is also included in our Mitigation plan services.
Analytical testing may become necessary to identify potential frauds and validate the effectiveness of mitigation measures, ensuring ongoing product control.
The type and extent of analytical solutions depend on the comprehensive risk assessment and can be categorized as targeted or non-targeted. Targeted analyses can solely identify known contaminants, which may not suffice for complex fraud scenarios necessitating broader screenings, such as assessing geographic origin, species varieties, and biodiversity. In such instances, non-targeted screening methods capable of detecting both known and unknown adulterants are viable solutions, albeit requiring expert professionals for data interpretation and statistical analysis.
