I had the opportunity to attend the Food Fraud training provided by ICS. Clare Winkel whom I met at this year's SQF Food Safety conference was the instructor. Clare is an experienced trainer and a subject matter expert on Food Fraud. She explained the fundamentals of risk management in the contect of international food adulteration for economic gain......
I highly recommend Clare's course to food safety professionals...
