The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) released in 2014 a draft Guidance on Food Fraud Mitigation for public comment. This guidance document was authored by USP’s Expert Panel on Food Ingredients Intentional Adulterants – a group of volunteer scientific experts in the area of food adulteration from industry, regulatory agencies, and academia. The Guidance provides a framework that is generally applicable to any food ingredient, and is intended to guide users toward the development of their own fraud management system that prioritizes and focuses mitigation resources towards ingredients that not only carry the most vulnerability but also have the potential for the most detrimental consequences when fraud occurs. It provides practical tips, examples, and information resources to allow any user the tools to assess vulnerabilities and implement effective measures to mitigate the risks of EMA specific to food ingredients.
This webinar will provide an overview of the Guidance including:
- How to carry out a fraud vulnerabilities characterization for food ingredients
- How to develop a mitigation strategy to address identified vulnerabilities
- Information resources available to aid in vulnerabilities characterizations
- Analytical tools available from USP to mitigate food fraud vulnerabilities

U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention
The U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is a global health organization that improves lives through public standards and related programs that help ensure the quality, safety, and benefit of medicines and foods. USP’s standards are used worldwide.
USP began establishing documentary standards for food ingredients in 2006 when it acquired the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) — a compendium of quality and purity specifications and methods — from the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Other USP initiatives in food ingredients include the Food Fraud Database (http://www.foodfraud.org/), a searchable online repository for food ingredient fraud reports and associated analytical detection methods that serves as a tool in assessing existing and emerging risks and trends for economically motivated adulteration (EMA) of food ingredients.
