Food fraud is the intentional adulteration or contamination of a food product and has often been considered synonymous with authenticity and quality. In today’s technological world this type of adultera- tion can take many forms. Global food fraud is a major concern for the food industry, regulators, and consumers. Incidents of food fraud are on the rise, and fraud is no longer limited to only a few very special, high-value commodities. Fraud has become commonplace, involving everyday staples such as spices, grains, and meat to specialty products like dietary supplements and even chocolates. Fraud can impact human health and safety, but also compromises the brand integrity of food companies, and erodes consumer confidence and trust. In this session, we examine how existing and new tools and technologies are being applied by the food industry, regulators, and other stakeholders to combat food fraud.

Isothermal, On-Site Food Authenticity Detection Bert Popping, FOCOS Food Consulting Strategically Putting Disruptive Technologies into Context: How Miniaturization Will Change the way Food Industry Will Deal with Food Fraud and Quality Control How Can NGS Based Methods Advance Food Safety and Quality Programs? Despite technological advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), the global food industry remains challenged in how to apply this methodology routinely to advance food safety and quality programs. This symposium will provide real world case studies on the use of NGS based methods to protect the food supply chain. NGS applications for food quality, safety and authenticity testing will be discussed. Speakers will present an overview of the NGS based method, results from method application, and lessons learned from using an NGS based application for their food safety and quality program.

Assessment and solutions of regional mycotoxin issues often vary in the context of research, risk management and policy-making. The need for practical and innovative tools to combat regional mycotoxin contamination is prompting different countries to advance science, regulatory policies, and agricultural practice and food processing. Based on their latest studies, mycotoxin experts from Canada, China, India, Republic of Korea, and US will offer a wide-ranging perspective on the key mycotoxin issues in their countries/regions. This symposium will provide several aspects of mycotoxin research from these countries, including health impact of total diet study, traceability of mycotoxin analysis, critical challenges and emerging tech- niques for mycotoxin determinations in spices and botanicals. As exchange of ideas and information has significant impact on the trends of mycotoxin research, the objective of this symposium is to share scientific information, evaluate the status of mycotoxins 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Global Perspectives on Mycotoxins in Food
