He will be joined by Andy Morling, head of the Food Standards Agency’s (FSA) Food Crime Unit, and John Figgins, BRC Technical Specialist, to discuss how businesses can best protect themselves and the public.
Professor Elliott said: “As the recent report into oregano and dried herbs has shown, food fraud has not gone away and will not do so until businesses are better prepared, both in terms of identifying the indicators of food fraud and playing their part in improving the integrity and security of the food supply chain.
“What’s more, there is the danger that with recurrent food fraud stories in the news, the food industry begins to lose the trust of the public. It is therefore vital that businesses keep themselves up to date with the latest developments and best practice.”
Fighting Food Fraud takes place at Doncaster Racecourse on 17 September 2015 at Doncaster Racecourse.
