Many new paying subscribers to The Rotten Apple are here because of a major change to the Food Fraud Risk Information Database on Trello (learn more about that change here). So with that in mind, I thought it would be helpful to compare the various sources of food fraud information that are available to food professionals.

In this post, you will find sources for food fraud information, plus the advantages and disadvantages of each. No tables, I’m afraid: the software I use for this publication does not support tabular formats, so the data is presented as a list. You can jump to the relevant heading using the table of contents.
