  • Different ways to check for, catch, and trace food fraud
  • The elements of a comprehensive food fraud vulnerability assessment
  • Focus areas for companies trying to develop a deep enough understanding of their supply chains and end products to prevent food fraud from occurring
  • How to implement a food fraud prevention strategy and management system, which is taught during Drs. Spink and Fenoff's annual Food Safety Summit course, and how course participants respond to and have applied these teachings within their companies
  • What Drs. Spink and Fenoff find both meaningful and challenging about their food fraud prevention and research work.
