Adulteration, Contamination
16/08/2026
Deliberate food adulteration for economic gain is increasing, with high profile issues making national or international news. There is now a greater emphasis on authenticity testing with a number of international projects addressing the analytical problems. The Fapas authenticity and adulteration proficiency tests and quality control materials allow laboratories to assess their detection capability for undeclared high level substitutions.
Testing against this quality control material allows you to improve your processes in this area and maintain a high level of testing.
Dried herbs have a track record of being regularly adulterated, with numerous media sources reporting various percentages of adulteration, with some reporting up to 25%. This high level of food fraud presents a large issue for food regulators and therefore an opportunity for testing labs to demonstrate their effective testing capabilities and win business in a growing adulteration detection sector.
