Abstract: Step up the food fraud fight 27 Jul 2017 | Chris Elliott I generally spend the first week of July in South East Asia discussing food security in the region. This year I spent the week discussing rice. Complex issues around climate change, pest control, and arsenic and cadmium contamination were high on the agenda, but nothing compared to fraud. I had planned to write about this, or the statements from Michael Gove about food and farming, or the comments from Liam Fox about a trade deal with the US and food safety. However I couldn’t let the latest horsemeat scandal go without a mention.
