African Young Scientists' Network

Food Science and Technology Network in Africa seeks to provide a one stop platform for discussion, mentorship and professional adviee and networking. This idea was born in the last IUFoST world food congress in Montreal Canada by the young scientists who attended. The members agreed to have a forum of information exchange and engagement. At the moment we are engaged in popularising the profession as well as make others aware of African potential in bringing desired home-grown solutions to current food safety problems in the continent.

_{^{FOOD FRAUD PREVENTION}}

John Spink, PhD

Summary

_{Food Fraud – and the focus on prevention – is an important and evolving food industry focus. Even though the vast majority of these incidents do not have a health hazard in some ways they are more dangerous because the substances and actions are unknown and untraceable. The types of food fraud stretch the traditional role of food science and technology to include criminology, supply chain traceability and other control systems. The food authenticity and integrity testing will be the most complex actions and their value should be assessed in terms of the contribution to prevention. This Scientific Information Bulletin (SIB) presents an introduction, review of incidents, the fundamentals of prevention which then provide insight on the optimal role of Food Science and Technology.}
