Food Crime | A Practical Guide to Food Fraud (VACCP)

Contact us

Course overview

This online training course introduces and explores food crime, focussing on food frauds such as adulteration, substitution, and deliberate mislabelling, and on detection and prevention measures.

We will look at historical examples of food frauds, considering their impacts both on businesses and consumers, and consider the circumstances which have led to them and subsequently to their detection.

We will identify the types of products which are most susceptible, and what works to prevent food fraud. Delegates will gain knowledge of how a vulnerability assessment of their supply chain can be carried out, and various tools and guides which have been developed to assist with this.

We will consider the place of Food Defence and Food Fraud Prevention within an effective Food Safety Management System, and the requirement for prevention plans within the BRC Global Standard.

Insights will be provided into the testing available for authenticity and detection of adulteration. 

Book both VACCP & TACCP for £450 pp (+£30 with assessment)
