From 5th to 7th November 2025, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the National Reference Centre for Authentic Food at the Max Rubner-Institut are organising an international conference on food fraud in Germany’s capital Berlin. The conference aims to enhance the collaboration of authorities at European and international level, i.e. stakeholders with a particular focus on food issues and food fraud, including representatives from the competent ministries and authorities of other member states, EU institutions, consumer protection- and industry associations, customs, justice, public prosecution, police, and the media (specialised journalists).
It will focus on key topics in the fight against food fraud such as early-warning systems, approaches to fight food fraud, geopolitical influences and climate change as well as data management challenges when detecting food fraud with analytical methods. Speakers from national, European and international organisations will give presentations. The conference language is English. The publication of the programme is planned for May 2025.
