Conclusion: What works to prevent food fraud

This project highlights transferable lessons from food and non-food fraud prevention initiatives that can be incorporated into the NFCU’s key strategies.
Overall, there should be further emphasis on prevention, with coordination between government agencies, FBOs, and other key stakeholders to ensure an integrated approach. This collective approach is needed to identify all stakeholders in the food supply chain, increase their awareness and competence regarding food fraud prevention, exclude those FBOs failing to meet applicable standards, and in high-risk food products track food in real time.
