Reports: Food Authenticity Scientific Evidence Base

This database gives links to research reports and other scientific evidence relating to the prevalence, prevention and detection of food fraud.  They encompass development and evaluation of test methods, literature reviews, analytical surveys, scientific opinions (best practices) and scientific evidence to underpin test methods (e.g. nitrogen factors in meat, principles of stable-isotope variation).

The reports are primarily from UK government funded research projects from 2001 to the present day.  They also include those from other internationally-recognised programmes such as the EU FoodIntegrity project.
