The Commodities Most Likely to Cost You: A Fraud Risk Primer for F&B Manufacturers
July 31 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
About This Session
Food fraud isn’t new, but adulteration methods are getting more sophisticated and enforcement remains reactive. Most manufacturers only discover a supplier integrity problem after the damage is done, often during an audit or after a recall. This session is designed to help FSQA and operations teams understand the risk before it becomes their problem.
What You’ll Learn
- Which ingredients are most commonly adulterated: The specific commodities where substitution and dilution are most prevalent, and what to watch for.
- What food fraud actually costs your operation: Beyond ingredient overpayment, the real exposure sits in recalls, rework, brand damage, legal liability, and how those risks compound.
- How FDA defines Economically Motivated Adulteration: What 21 CFR Parts 117 and 507 require from your food safety program, and where most facilities have gaps they don’t know about.
- Why detection is harder than it looks: The practical challenges of cost of testing, foreign supplier oversight, and the limits of documentation that make EMA a persistent problem even for compliant operations.
