Food Adulteration Training
Food adulteration whether economically motivated, intentional, or accidental poses significant risks to public health and brand integrity. This webinar will provide a thorough overview of different types of adulteration, including dilution, substitution, concealment, and mislabeling. Attendees will learn about key tools for prevention and detection, such as supply chain verification, laboratory testing methods, and vulnerability assessments as part of a Food Fraud Prevention plan. The session will also examine relevant regulations, including the FSMA Mitigation Strategies for Intentional Adulteration (IA) rule, and provide a framework for developing and implementing a proactive adulteration risk management program.
