- Abstract:
- Stakeholder insights reaffirmed the need for harmonised standards, inter-laboratory studies, well-characterised datasets, and rapid, cost-effective screening tools to complement advanced laboratory methods. The project concluded that early establishment of metrological principles, traceability systems, regulatory clarity, and strong collaboration across sectors will be essential to maintain consumer confidence and ensure CCP integrity as the market expands. In order of priority, this report recommended further work be conducted on weight of evidence approaches, digital barcoding, epigenetics and microbial profiling, as approaches which may have the greatest potential for analytical CCP traceability. Overall, this work provided an evidence-based foundation to guide future method development, support regulatory preparedness, and inform a coherent national approach to CCP authenticity testing.
