Food fraud, or the act of defrauding buyers of food or ingredients
for economic gain -- whether they be consumers or food
manufacturers, retailers, and importers -- has vexed the food
industry throughout history. Some of the earliest reported cases of
food fraud, dating back thousands of years, involved olive oil,
tea, wine, and spices. These products continue to be associated
with fraud, along with some other foods. Although the vast majority
of fraud incidents do not pose a public health risk, some cases
have resulted in actual or potential public health risks. This book
provides an overview of issues pertaining to food fraud and
"economically motivated adulteration" or EMA, a category within
food fraud. The book also examines the approaches that FDA uses to
detect and prevent economic adulteration of food and medical
products and the challenges FDA faces in detecting and preventing
economic adulteration and views of stakeholders on options for FDA
to enhance its efforts to address economic adulteration.
