G.F.S.I. develops guidelines to prevent food fraud

摘要

Food and beverage manufacturers must conduct a food fraud vulnerability assessment and put appropriate control measures in place to reduce its risks, according to a guidance document published by the Global Food Safety Initiative. "The vision is that, like the introduction of food defense into the guidance document a few years ago, the mitigation of food fraud and the potential impact on consumers' health becomes an integral part of a company's food safety management system," the report said. Eventually, a company's food fraud prevention plan will be evaluated during a food safety certification audit conducted under the G.F.S.I.
