20.01.2022 NEWS FROM THE UK: The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology provides in its POSTnote (Number 624) an overview of the current evidence on food fraud.

There is no university-agreed definition of food fraud, the NOTE refers to the list of activities universally typed as food fraud activities: Adulteration, substitution, misrepresentation/mislabelling, counterfeiting, theft, diversion, over-run and unlawful processing and docum...Continue reading

16.01.2022 CONTACT: Dr Janine Curll of Food Fraud Protection for a confidential discussion about how FFP can help identify fraud opportunities and vulnerabilities and systematically mitigate fraud risks in your food business. Protect your brand. Australian regulatory traceability requirements do not prevent food fraud. Free Range Egg Fraud alleged in WA. ABC News Online Report (13/5/2019) - Australia's peak consumer and competition body is investigating reports of CAGE eggs being fraud...ulently packaged and sold as 'free-range' in Western Australia. Dr Janine Curll (FFP-Ed) provides some commentary below and asks the responsible State Ministers at the Food Regulation Forum (food policy makers): Where is our authenticity monitoring compliance and enforcement strategy? Where is Australia's food fraud strategy? The time has come to identify food fraud as a food regulatory issue and systematically protect consumers and, importantly, provide a fair marketplace for honest food industry traders. https://www.foodfraudprotection.com//free-range-egg-fraud- #foodfraud #FoodFraudshame #freerangeeggs

15.01.2022 FSANZ has released a checklist to help food businesses return in the COVID era following the easing of restrictions. FSANZ notes new supplies are a risk for con...trol.

Food business may be under huge pressure to meet supply agreements and replace ingredients, increasing risks to food safety and public health from fraud and misrepresentations.

14.01.2022 This is an excellent piece on "wet markets" and COVID19 by food history scholar, and author of the soon-to-be-released book From Label to Table: Regulating Food in the Information Age. "There has been a lot of speculation and misinformation about what wet markets are since the COVID-19 outbreak. We asked Xaq Frohlich, assistant professor of history, whose research focuses on the historical intersections of science, law, and markets, and how the three have shaped our modern ev...Continue reading

08.01.2022 Critical alleged labelling breaches/authenticity/ specification - referred to by many as ‘technical issues’ - has brought the meat trade to its knees again. Labelling is more than technical issues. ‘China is Australia's largest destination for dairy exports, making up 33 per cent of the industry's trade. More than half of Australia's wine exports earnings come from China. Both markets are each worth more than $1 billion.‘

04.01.2022 First, we must stop tolerating and legitimizing health pseudoscience, especially at universities and health-care institutions. Many bogus COVID-19 therapies ha...ve been embraced by integrative health centres at leading universities and hospitals. If a respected institution, such as the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, offers reiki a science-free practice that involves using your hands, without even touching the patient, to balance the vital life force energy that flows through all living things is it any surprise that some people will think that the technique could boost their immune systems and make them less susceptible to the virus? The fight against pseudoscience is weakened if trusted medical institutions condemn an evidence-free practice in one context and legitimize it in another. We need good science all the time, but particularly during disasters. Second, more researchers should become active participants in the public fight against misinformation. Those pushing unproven ideas use the language of real science a phenomenon I call ‘scienceploitation’ to legitimize their products. It is, alas, all too effective. Homeopathy and energy therapies, proponents argue, depend on quantum physics. Colonic hydrotherapy is justified using phrases borrowed from microbiome studies. And the language of stem-cell research is used to promote a spray claiming to have immune-boosting properties. We need physicists, microbiologists, immunologists, gastroenterologists and all scientists from relevant disciplines to provide simple and shareable content explaining why this hijacking of real research is inaccurate and scientifically dishonest. If you’re a scientist and you haven’t started a twitter account yet, there’s nothing stopping you. Come join the fight and help give a signal boost to good information and help debunk the harmful disinformation with all your experience and training. We need every last one of us. #ShillArmy rides again. Thanks for this piece, Tim Caulfield.
