NFCU would like to receive any information relating to suspected dishonesty involving food, drink or animal feed. In addition to identifying and being able to tackle specific instances of food crime, such information will help us learn more about the circumstances that make offending possible.
Food Crime is defined as 'Financially motivated dishonesty relating to food production or supply, which is either complex or results in serious detriment to consumers, businesses or the overall public'.
The National Food Crime Unit would like to hear from anyone if they have suspicions about:
-
food or drink that has potentially been adulterated or substituted
-
methods used in workplaces for producing, processing, storing, labelling or transporting food that appears illegal or substandard
-
companies or businesses that are selling items of food or drink that purport to be of a certain quality, suggest health benefits or claim to be from a specific place or region, but do not appear genuine or are suspected to be fake.
