Three years after the outbreak of the horse meat scandal, food fraud is a bigger global problem than ever. Types of food fraud include dilation, mislabelled or misinterpreted products, ingredient substitution or tampered products.
New Food’s one-day Food Fraud conference will address these issues and more by bringing together quality assurance heads from global food manufacturers and processors who need to keep up-to-date on the latest regulations. Industry professionals will share best practice in preventing food fraud and to assess the most cutting-edge testing technology in the sector.
The conference will combine a series of sessions including case studies, panel discussions, spotlight focuses and presentations, creating a well-rounded and highly informative conference. With ample time for questions and discussions, the food fraud programme will enable attendees to gain a full insight into the issues currently relating to food fraud and plans to address these.
Speaking Organisations include: National Food Crime Unit, Food Standards Agency; Nestlé Research Centre; Mars; The Institute for Food Safety, Integrity and Protection and Metro Cash & Carry.
The day will be chaired by Chris Elliot, Professor of Food Safety, Founder of the Institute for Global Food Safety and Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast. Here, Professor Elliot will introduce methods for tracking and decreasing food fraud and what can and should be done to regulate this global issue.
