Food Defence and Food Fraud Course (FS11)

Food defence and food fraud play an integral part in food safety, and the requirements are written into various food safety standards such as IFS, BRC and FSSC 22000.

Both topics deal with the intentional adulteration of food products by persons who want to gain financially or cause intentional harm to consumers.  This is also called “food crime”.
