In today’s marketplace, it is critical that companies take a proactive approach to understanding their exposure and reducing the risk to their brands from counterfeiting and unauthorized production.

Economically motivated adulteration, or “food fraud”, has also emerged as a significant risk in the increasingly complex global supply chain.
