| Alcohol and spirits |
Verification of declared botanical origin and detection of adulteration or non-compliant blending |
| Beer |
Check label-claim consistency and detect undeclared additions or non-compliant practices |
| Cereals |
Verify cereal type/origin and detect substitution or mislabelling |
| Cider |
Verify composition (e.g., sugars) and detect adulteration or non-compliant blending |
| Coffee |
Differentiate botanical varieties (e.g., Arabica/Robusta), detect undeclared substitutes, and assess origin claims |

Verify species origin and detect undeclared non-dairy ingredients; support related claims |
| Drinking waters |
Authenticity (origin of CO2 for sparkling waters) and, where applicable, origin checks adapted to sector risks |
| Eggs |
Support label-claim checks and authenticity controls for egg products, aligned to identified risks |
| Fish |
Species identification (speciation) and detection of undeclared substitution in fresh and processed products; verify salmon origin (wild/farmed) |
| Flavours (incl. essential oils) |
Differentiate natural vs synthetic; assess profile consistency and, where relevant, origin |
| Fruit and vegetables |
Verify botanical/geographical origin or organic claims; detect labelling inconsistencies |
| Fruit juices |
Detect dilution and undeclared sugar additions, addition of exogenous compounds (flavour, organic acids, sweeteners, etc.), or blending with cheaper fruits or use of non-edible parts of fruits; verify declared origin |
| Honey, sugars, and sugar syrups |
Detect exogenous sugars; assess declared botanical/geographical origin |
| Meat |
Species verification; origin-claim checks; substitution detection |
| Oils and fats (incl. olive oil) |

Checks for coherence with organic production practices and associated label claims (untargeted analysis) |
| Other foods |
Bespoke authenticity assessments for additional categories as needed |

Botanical authentication; detection of bulking/adulterants; origin checks where relevant |
| Textiles (non-food natural products) |
Origin and fibre-composition checks to combat fraud and support traceability |
| Vinegars |
Origin and composition verification; adulteration checks (e.g., balsamic authenticity) |
| Wine |
Comprehensive integrity checks (origin, grape variety, vintage) and detection of sugar additions/non-compliant blending |
