| Abstract: | The threat of food fraud has intensified in recent years as the food supply has become more globalized and many sectors face increased competition. Some of the most notorious incidents include the 2013 horsemeat scandal in Europe, and the adulteration of Chinese infant formula with the industrial chemical melamine to increase its apparent protein content — which killed six children and hospitalized 54,000 in 2008. |
