Abstract: Senior Nofima scientists Petter Olsen (courtesy of Nofima) A European standard defining the terms and concepts used in connection with food fraud has been launched by food experts and the Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (Nofima). The words are placed in a hierarchical system that makes it easier to understand how they relate to each other. The standard – Authenticity and fraud in the feed and food chain – Concepts, terms, and definitions – was published in January 2019 by Standard Norway and is also being distributed by several other National Standardization Bodies in Europe. Petter Olsen, a senior scientist at Nofima, coordinated the standardisation efforts as part of the EU-funded projects Authent-Net and FoodIntegrity.
