Fake honey, not-so-virgin olive oil and wood pulp in Parmesan cheese are just a few of the many food fraud instances known as economically motivated adulteration (EMA) that have made headlines in recent years. Some estimate food fraud costs the world economy $49 billion annually, and about 10 percent of the food we buy is likely adulterated.
To help combat food adulteration, the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and Battelle have partnered to provide EMAlert, a secure, intuitive web-based software tool that allows food manufacturers to rapidly analyze and understand their individual, company-specific EMA vulnerabilities in the manufacturing process.
