How It Works

What the Programme Covers

Eight modules, taught live and 1-on-1 in the order below. Every module is worked through on your own site, products and markets, so the examples are yours from the first session.

  1. 1

    What food fraud looks like

    Substitution, dilution, mislabelling, counterfeiting and grey market goods, and the cases that changed the law.

  2. 2

    Fraud, defence and safety as three separate plans

    Why food fraud, food defence and food safety each need their own assessment, and where they overlap.

  3. 3

    Vulnerability assessment

    Scoring opportunity, motivation and controls for each material, using the SSAFE tool and the GFSI approach.

  4. 4

    Supplier and supply chain risk

    Mapping the chain, country and commodity risk, and how prices, shortages and new brokers signal fraud.

  5. 5

    Mitigation measures

    Specifications, certificates of analysis, supplier audits, sealed supply chains and testing plans.

  6. 6

    Authenticity testing

    What the laboratory can and cannot tell you, which methods fit which material and when to test.

  7. 7

    Horizon scanning

    RASFF, the EU Food Fraud Network, the National Food Crime Unit and trade data, and how to build a monthly alert routine.

  8. 8

    Your own vulnerability assessment and mitigation plan

    You assess your own raw materials and write the plan your certification scheme will audit.
