Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food authenticity is a major issue due to consumers’ lack of trust in food products. Thus, there is significant interest among the scientific community in developing new methods for authenticating food. Food adulteration presents three main issues: (a) an economical issue generated by the sale of genuine/adulterated products as authentic ones; (b) a legal issue considering that the addition of unstipulated ingredients on food labels is prohibited; and (c) a health issue, because added ingredients may have toxic effects on humans.
In this context, this Special Issue of Foods invites novel contributions concerning any aspect related to food authenticity and adulteration detection with the aim of contributing to the scientific literature on this topic, which will help consumers increase their confidence in the authenticity of food products.
