JANUARY 2024 REPORT ON EU

AGRI-FOOD FRAUD SUSPICIONS

The purpose of the Monthly report on EU Agri-Food Fraud suspicions is twofold:

1. Article 9(2) of the

Official Control Regulation which requires the organisation of risk-based controls to identify
and combat fraudulent and deceptive practices along the agri-food chain (across some control
areas listed in its Article 1(2)).
2. Provide valuable but selected information to stakeholders of the agri-food sector to perform
adequate vulnerability assessments and identify new emerging risks.
Disclaimer: The monthly report - -border
nature identified and shared between members of the Alert and Cooperation Network (ACN) and
retrieved from its three components: the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed network (RASFF), the
Administrative Assistance and Cooperation network (AAC) and the Agri-Food Fraud Network (FFN).
The monthly report covers food, feedingstuff, materials and articles intended to come into contact
directly or indirectly with food, animal welfare issues for farmed animals, plant protection products,
veterinary medicinal products and other inputs that may end in the form of residues and contaminants
in food and feed.
The monthly report does not reconcile data and suspicions related to the following subjects:

• animal and plant health,

• release into the environment of Genetically Modified Organisms,
• animal welfare for companion animals,
• placing on the market and use of plant protection products, veterinary medicinal products and
other inputs that are not ending as residues and contaminants in food and feed, and
• animal by-products and derived products when they not intended to be used for oral feeding to
animals.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1715 of 30 September 2019 laying down rules for
the functioning of the information management system for official controls and its system components
(the IMSOC Regulation) defines a fraud notification as a non-compliance concerning any suspected
intentional action by businesses or individuals, for the purpose of deceiving purchasers and gaining
undue advantage therefrom, in violation of the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU)
2017/625 .
The report includes -compliances with fraud . -
not confirmed frauds but contribute alerting and triggering investigations by Member
States competent authorities.
