Alchemy Systems, U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention collaborate to fight food fraud
USP’s Food Fraud Database can be used to identify which ingredients have a known history of adulterations, including incident reports, inference reports, surveillance records and analytical methods.
Alchemy Systems, Austin, Texas, and the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), Rockville, Md., announced a groundbreaking collaboration that enables food companies of all sizes to assess supply chain risk and build robust systems to minimize food fraud.
“Food companies have struggled to keep up with food adulteration risks inherent in an increasingly global ingredient supply,” says Jeff Eastman, Alchemy’s CEO. “We are delighted to combine Alchemy’s food fraud risk assessment and mitigation services with USP’s food fraud database and food fraud expertise, so that companies can better protect their supply chains, meet regulations and safeguard their brands.”
