Authenticity

The purpose of authenticity testing is to assure the true state of food. According to the International Food Authenticity Assurance Organisation (FAAO), “food authenticity is the process of irrefutably proving that a food or food ingredient is in its original, genuine, verifiable and intended form as declared and represented”.  Economically Motivated Adulteration is a form of non-compliance with food laws, and regulatory authorities are constantly looking for ways to help the food industry prevent and remove the impact on the food supply chain and safeguard public health.
