摘要

A meeting of the Management Committee of the European Framework 7 Integrated Project 'Food Integrity' (FI) took place in Budapest, Hungary, on 24 October 2017. The Food and Environmental Protection Laboratory is a full partner in the FI project and is actively involved in work package 1, the Foodlntegrity Network; workpackage 2, Knowledge Base; workpackage 10, Industrial Integration and workpackage 11, Dissemination and Training. The FI Management Committee is composed of all twenty one workpackage leaders; the project coordinator from the UK's Food and Environment Research Agency and the FI Secretariat. The Technical Officer took over as the WP1 leader in September 2017 and is responsible for ensuring that the tasks, deliverables and milestones of the workpackage are achieved on time. Currently WP1 is drafting a series of scientific opinions on a range of topics related to food authenticity and fraud detection in the peer-reviewed journal Trends in Food Science & Technology. The scientific opinion articles include "The role of analytical testing for food fraud risk mitigation - how much is enough?"; "What are the scientific challenges in moving from targeted to non-targeted methods for food fraud testing"; "Multivariate statistics: considerations and confidences in food authenticity"; "Food authenticity database development, use and curation"; "The Use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy applications to tackle future food fraud issues"; "The future of next generation sequencing analysis in testing food authenticity" and "Stable isotope techniques for verifying the declared geographical origin of food in legal cases", which has already been published. These scientific opinions will also be followed up with videos and info-graphics to promote their open-access.
