Food Fraud Incident Report
On November 4, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning food fraud and suspicion of food fraud involving food products and food additives. The origin of this issue has been traced back to China, raising concerns about the integrity of the food supply chain.
This incident falls under the category of fraud and intentional adulteration, which poses serious risks to consumer safety and public health. Food fraud can involve the misrepresentation of food products, including the substitution of ingredients, false labeling, or the addition of unauthorized substances to enhance appearance or shelf life.
