ABSTRACT
As described in Chapters 7 and 14, food counterfeiting represents a crime, a business risk, and a risk to public health. With the goal of better assessing the nature of these risks, and thereby improving risk management, a food ingredient company (referred to as “CSFI”) was confidentially engaged to conduct this case study to demonstrate the use of the Counterfeit Risk Model. A series of interviews was conducted to solicit background information, to gain insight from a company expert panel, and to discuss both the working of the model and the results.
