Understanding Types of Food Fraud Risk - Food Fraud Series Part 3 of 5

Webinar Description

Sponsored by the IAFP Foundation

Organized by the IAFP Food Fraud Professional Development Group

Food fraud represents a significant potential risk for food firms that is similar to, but different than, traditional food safety or quality risks.  As an intentional act, it does not follow the probabilistic aspects of food safety failures, its deterministic nature represents a different challenge.  It also changes the nature of the scale of risk it represents.  Given new regulations like the Preventive Control Rule, it can represent regulatory risk.  If identified prior to reaching the consumer, it can be more of an operational risk.  If it is not discovered until after it reaches customers or consumers, it can scale from brand/reputational risk to enterprise risk differently than a food safety or quality failure.  This webinar will cover the different types of risk, including examples and provide an overview of risk management strategies to mitigate those risks.
