🚨 👀 What an interesting post from EIT Food 🎉 #HorizonEU #HorizonStatsEU #EUFunded #EUMissions #EFF_CoP #FoodFraud #FoodSafety #foodauthenticity #Sustainability #ConsumerAwareness #Horizon #innovation #research
Food fraud takes many forms, from diluting beverages to mislabelling allergens, damaging the agrifood industry and harming consumers and businesses. It costs the economy an estimated €8-€12 billion annually. 💸 In Europe, the highest rates of food adulteration are reported in Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands, with products like fats, oils, fish, meat, and poultry being most affected. Alarmingly, only 40% of Europeans trust the authenticity of their food, as highlighted in our Trust Report. 🐟🍗 Tackling food fraud requires collaboration across the agrifood industry and the use of technologies such as blockchain. For example, EIT Food RisingFoodStars SwissDeCode has developed a DNA test to verify food authenticity and prevent fraudulent products from entering the supply chain. 🔬 Raising awareness about how to identify food fraud is another way to reduce risks and increase confidence. Education initiatives such as our online courses give consumers and stakeholders the chance to learn more about trust, food safety and the complexity of supply chains. 📚 How can we collaborate to reduce food fraud, improve consumer trust and make the food system safer? 🌍 https://lnkd.in/dt_tY2pj #ImprovingFoodTogether #FutureOfFood #SustainableFood #RegenerativeFoodSystems

"Raising awareness and using technology such as blockchain is key" as part of a strategy to mitigate food fraud is precisely why we chose to incorporate blockchain in our AgroLedger trace system.

“Blockchain's immutability lends to trust, which is crucial in food safety.” Judson Sinton, CEO of The Bloomington Group Ltd. Last week's Food Traceability Summit brought together industry leaders, regulatory experts, and innovators to discuss the current state and future of food safety.

How are your customers engaging with your product beyond the label? What is your GenZ and GenAlpha strategy for social engagement and authenticity? Are you prepared for the next industry Black Swan event? How secure is your data? And finally, how can you increase profitability on house brands? IBM leads the way in balancing consumer confidence, safety, and business profitability. The Summit provided a baseline, and now it's time to take your enterprise to the next level.
