Another milestone is achieved! The ILSI Europe Taskforce on Food Authenticity has published its open-access manuscript in the high-impact factor (15.786) journal “Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety” today (2022-10-18).

The manuscript covers the tools available to the food industry to mitigate food fraud. It assesses the usefulness of these tools for mitigation, which is very timely in the current geopolitical situation.

The manuscript was the output of a collaborative effort by the ILSI Europe taskforce, and Neil Buck and I (Bert Popping) would like to thank especially Paul Brereton, John Spink Samim Saner, Sandra Mourinha Chaves, Charon Willis, Steve Gendel, Diána Bánáti, Daniel Wunderlin,  and Nevena Hristozova for their contributions to the manuscript.

Also, this could not have been done without the great support received from the ILSI Europe team led by Isabelle Guelinckx. She also leads the recently funded EU project TITAN, which also deals with tools that allow the food industry to implement mitigation measures more effectively.
