Food fraud refers to the act of deceiving consumers and obtaining improper benefits through false and misleading information or means in the production, processing and sales of food. This behavior is not only illegal, but also threatens the health of consumers and undermines fair competition in the market. The impact of food fraud is widespread, not only damaging the rights and interests of consumers, but also may cause public health problems.
Many countries have formulated strict laws and regulations on food safety to prevent and punish food fraud. When buying food, consumers can protect themselves by checking labels, understanding brand backgrounds, and choosing formal channels. These services can not only help consumers choose safe food, but also improve the reputation of food production companies and enhance their market competitiveness. In actual applications, different countries and regions may have different standards and testing methods, so it is very important to choose a suitable testing service provider.
