<br/>Fraud in the food chain has shuttered the confidence consumers have in their food supply and has serious effects on the reputation of honest food business operators. Prevention of fraud and promotion of authentic agri-food products is key to assure the commercial success of high-value agri-food products on international markets. International collaboration on food safety is already well established, while for food authenticity this is not yet the case. There is a great need for international harmonization in order to be able to detect and, what is more important, prevent or at least minimize fraud. Therefore, the fight against food fraud calls for an international and systemic approach involving cooperation and consultation among all stakeholders at all levels of the food chain. Early warning systems, horizon scans, vulnerability assessment tools and appropriate analytical methods are among the critical elements for equipping regulatory agencies as well as industry in the fight against food fraud.
