An interesting article on food fraud

An interesting article on food fraud - and a reminder that food defense can address many forms of 'harm' to the food supply. This is intentional harm and food defense plans should consider this risk.

Thanks for the article Cathy. Would this be covered by food defence or supplier assurance?

Good question! I think the answer is - both. Food defense should include inspection of goods upon receipt as well as a strong supplier approval and monitoring program. I wouldn't recommend adding supplier control to the food defense program per se - but I would reference and consider it as part of a risk analysis.
