What is food Fraud?

Food fraud originated as a way to extend a food’s primary ingredients for added profit. As our food supply becomes more globalized, fraudsters are using the importation process to take advantage of food companies wherever they can. According to the FDA, the number of adulterated food products they are seeing has tripled over the past 10 years. And, as supply chains become increasingly complex and fragmented, it is becoming harder to detect cases of adulteration. What’s more,  some food companies seeking new ways to keep pricing down are outsourcing to suppliers who are tempted to substitute, sometimes at the cost of the safety and the integrity of the company’s brand. From olive oil, to honey and even horsemeat, consumers are unwittingly purchasing and consuming food that may have been adulterated or tampered with, and this can seriously compromise their health. As consumers become aware of these incidents through main stream and social media, they start to turn away from brands th

A product or service conforming to an international standard is imbued with a trusted symbol of quality, safety or compatibility. Standards speak

Country Codes - ISO 3166

Country Codes - ISO 3166 What is ISO 3166? ISO 3166 is the International Standard for country codes and codes for their subdivisions. The purpose of ISO 3166 is to define internationally recognised codes of letters and/or numbers that we can use when we refer to countries and subdivisions. However, it does not define the names of countries – this information comes from United Nations sources (Terminology Bulletin Country Names and the Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use maintained by the United Nations Statistics Divisions). Using codes saves time and avoids errors as instead of using a country's name (which will change depending on the language being used) we can use a combination of letters and/or numbers that are understood all over the world. For example, all national postal organizations throughout the world exchange international mail in containers identified with the relevant country code. Internet domain name systems use the codes to define top level do
