Food Fraud & Adulteration
Food fraud has been around for centuries with examples such as the adulteration of imported tea with iron filings in the 19th century. Today it is more likely to be the adulteration of meat or substitution of alternative fish species used as cheaper alternatives.
Food Fraud is becoming more sophisticated and increasingly difficult to detect. At Eurofins we therefore offer a full range of analytical methodologies including Stable Isotopic Ratio Analysis (SIRA), molecular biology techniques, classic physical, chemical and biological methods to test for food authenticity, and detect non-compliant products.
