Abstract:
Globalization and the increasing complexity of supply chains have allowed food fraud to expand to a great extent. Some of the most serious effects of these deceitful activities are damage to a brand\'s reputation and trust, economic losses, and public health risks. The usual victims of food fraud are dairy, meat, fish, and seafood products, as well as fats/oils and alcoholic drinks. The purpose of this review paper is to present an updated analysis of the currently available anticounterfeit technologies and their application to the four most fraud-affected food supply chains. An assessment that was conducted to determine when the adoption of a combination of technologies could enhance food safety and brand protection is also provided. The obtained results indicate that electronic and data-driven technologies (RFID devices and digital traceability systems) are still in their infancy in the food sectors that are subjected the most to fraudulent activities. Research is necessary to develop innovative digital and physical technologies to \"outsmart\" such fraudsters and to prevent their illicit actions in the food sector.
摘要:
全球化和供应链日益复杂,使得食品欺诈在很大程度上扩大。这些欺骗性活动的一些最严重的影响是损害品牌的声誉和信任,经济损失,和公共卫生风险。食品欺诈的受害者通常是乳制品,肉,鱼,和海鲜产品,以及脂肪/油和酒精饮料。这篇综述论文的目的是对当前可用的防伪技术及其在四个受欺诈影响最大的食品供应链中的应用进行最新分析。还提供了一项评估,以确定何时采用技术组合可以增强食品安全和品牌保护。获得的结果表明,电子和数据驱动的技术(RFID设备和数字可追溯系统)在遭受欺诈活动最多的食品行业中仍处于起步阶段。有必要进行研究,以开发创新的数字和物理技术,以“智胜”此类欺诈者,并防止其在食品行业的非法行为。
