Happy 5th Birthday to us!
We were set-up on 14 July 2015 by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs as a direct response to the review conducted by Prof. Chris Elliott to act as a one-stop-shop for all things food authenticity testing related. Today, we have over 1,830 members from 78 countries / territories around the world and in 2019, over 12,000 users accessed the website. We've also added sources of good practice information on food fraud mitigation to our scope recognising that it's best to try to prevent #foodfraud from happening in the first place.
So a BIG thank you to Defra, Food Standards Agency, Food Standards Scotland and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)), our Supporters (McCormick & Company, LGC Standards, Institute of Food Science and Technology, Food Industry Intelligence Network (fiin) and SSAFE), my colleagues Mark Woolfe, Stephen Ellison, Michael Walker, Felicia Golden & Gary Bird, our Advisory Board (Sterling Crew, Liz Moran, Barbara Hirst, Sophie Rollinson, Lucy Foster, Bhavna Parmar, Kasia Kazimierczak, Kerina Cheesman, Elizabeth Andoh-Kesson, Franz Ulberth, Rachel Ward & John W Spink) and all our Members and Users for your continued support.
And here's to the next five years!
