Food fraud is the urgent global policy issue. Vulnerability to fraud and adulteration in the food chain is increasing - inter alia as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study is to explore and compile data on non-compliance in the agri-food chain that mainly arise from adulterating food. The materials consulted for this article comprised: (1) scholarly journals; (2) data from DG SANTE; (3) EU FFN & AAC Reports; (4) RASFF Portal; (5) administrative decisions regarding adulterated food issued by IJHAR-S in Poland. The core studies cover the period 2016-2020. Food supplements and meat products are more likely to be identified as non-compliant in Europe. Although, due to many factors involved - prices, food consumption patterns, level of competition, and legal sanctions - the most common targets for adulteration vary in different countries and change over time. The study is, inter alia, intended to provide insights into various illicit practices for public and private decision-makers striving for greater prevention and reduced vulnerability. (original abstract)

Oszustwa w branży spożywczej to pilna kwestia globalnej polityki. Podatność łańcucha żywnościowego na oszustwa i zafałszowania ciągle rośnie, m. in. wraz z rozwojem pandemii C0VID-19. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników analizy danych dotyczących niezgodności i ich charakteru w łańcuchu rolno- spożywczym, wynikających zwłaszcza z fałszowania żywności. Wykorzystano następujące źródła danych: periodyki naukowe, DG SANTE, raporty EU FFN & AAC, portal RASFF, decyzje administracyjne IJHAR-S dotyczące zafałszowań żywności. Główne badania obejmują lata 2016-2020. W Europie najwięcej nieprawidłowości występuje w przypadku suplementów diety i produktów mięsnych. Chociaż, w poszczególnych krajach inne produkty są najczęściej fałszowane, na co wpływają różnice w cenach, modelach konsumpcji żywności, poziomie konkurencji, konstrukcji sankcji prawnych itd., co dodatkowo zmienia się w czasie. Opracowanie ma między innymi służyć publicznym i prywatnym decydentom dążącym do zapewnienia wysokiego poziomu ochrony uczestnikom łańcucha rolno-spożywczego. (abstrakt oryginalny)
