Abstract
Food Fraud is one of the most active research and policy activities by industry and governments. While there is a tremendous amount of activity there is a need for a holistic, all-encompassing approach to focus on a prevention strategy. This paper outlines the steps necessary to begin a country-wide or industry-wide vulnerability assessment and the development of a Food Fraud Prevention Strategy. An efficient method utilizes the COSO accounting principles of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). The first stage is a pre-filter Food Fraud Initial Screening (FFIS) and the more detailed second stage is a Food Fraud Vulnerability Assessment (FFVA). A prevention strategy is the culmination of this effort. The benefit is an efficient and effective - optimal - engagement of government and industry.
