Food Fraud Risk Information

Purchase an offline ‘snapshot’ of the database in an easy-to-search format by clicking the button below.

You will receive a link to download a Microsoft Excel file, which contains information from the Food Fraud Risk Information Database as it was on 13th May 2019.  It is an offline document, is not updated automatically and does not reflect any changes that have been made since that date.

Sources: The information in the Food Fraud Risk Information Database comes from hundreds of sources, with the number increasing all the time.  To keep the size of the database manageable, sources are not included.  However the authors are more than happy to provide sources to all genuine enquirers.

The information in the Excel workbook can be searched, sorted, copied, pasted and manipulated as with any other Excel workbook.  Users are encouraged to add their own information and notes to the document.

The contents of the online database is presented in a table, with one row for each ‘card’ of the database.  In the database, most cards correspond to a single food type.   The database currently contains more than seventy five thousand (75,000) words.  The use of search functions and pivot tables is recommended.
