Abstract: The boom in sourcing more of our food online could open the floodgates for more unsafe counterfeit products unless the industry acts quickly, claims leading product inspection specialists Mettler-Toledo.“Counterfeit food is a growing problem worldwide, driven in part by the explosion of the digital marketplace. Anyone can set up shop as a 'legitimate' salesperson online, offering foodstuffs for sale without much in the way of regulation,” says Mettler-Toledo spokesperson Joanna Mooberry.
