Food fraud and food defense are critical areas in safeguarding the integrity of the global food supply. Food fraud involves the intentional deception for economic gain through the mislabeling, adulteration, or substitution of food products, which not only affects consumer trust but also poses potential health risks. On the other hand, food defense focuses on protecting the food supply from intentional contamination or tampering driven by malicious intent, such as sabotage or bioterrorism. Both issues highlight vulnerabilities in supply chains and emphasize the need for proactive strategies and risk mitigation plans. Join us as we discuss the following topics and explore practical solutions to protect the safety and authenticity of our food.
