How inspection services help maintain food integrity
We check before you buy: Why inspections are so important in the food industry
Feb 2021. The adulteration of food is a lucrative business for fraudsters. From the dilution of honey with foreign sugars to the use of illegal colorants in spices, a multitude of food fraud methods exist. Through inspections (pre-shipment, loading controls) and representative sampling on site, the quality standards you set are controlled and risks within the supply chain are significantly reduced. This enables you, as a food importer or producer, to make profound purchasing decisions and source only high-quality goods.
