Food fraudsters be warned! Sophisticated science was at the centre
of detecting and prosecuting this new crime of food fraud. The
ground-breaking case, a first of its kind, needed new sentencing
guidelines for judges, new working arrangements for prosecutors and
police and an EU-wide agreement on techniques and standards used
for prosecution, which were agreed on the hoof in response to a
crime detected in over 40 countries. In 2013 thousands of
consumers, retailers and food businesses were ripped-off by
insiders - thieves who substituted and sold horse-meat in place of
beef. They used a web of deception that involved unwitting
suppliers passing off their fraudulent produce to some of Britain's
largest retailers and international food business. Following
so-called Horsegate, the enforcement world had to change. There is
now a team focussing on food fraud and a desire to put the
perpetrators behind bars. Much tougher sanctions have been
introduced with the aim of discouraging such crimes. This book is a
timely look at the web of deception and how it can be stopped.
Aimed at food enforcement professionals, lay readers with an
interest in crime, students studying food fraud, criminology or
forensics and anyone who eats food. Once again, life emulated art,
this deception mirrors the story of the thief who came to dinner,
gained inside knowledge and stole priceless artefacts from the
host. So, who will come to dinner next time? This is the second
book by the author, a scientist sharing his inside knowledge on
this food crime.
