Beating food crime
Protect your business from the growing and changing threats
Food crime is a significant threat to any food or drink business operator. Food fraud, for example, accounts for up to 25% of food safety incidents.
Even when the issue is not one of safety, fraud such as misrepresentation or substitution can have huge reputational and financial costs for implicated businesses and brands – costing the global food and drink industry approximately €30 billion every year.
Across our wide range of services, we can help you to implement, validate and verify effective food safety management systems to protect against food fraud and food defence issues.
