An unauthorized meat operator from Brazil and illegally extending the shelf life of beef were among potential food fraud cases discussed recently in Europe.
Reports in Europe reached 129 in May 2025, which is down from the 235 alerts in April and 281 in May 2024. May 2025 saw a new methodology used around pesticide residues so figures should not be compared to previous months.
Issues listed are potential frauds. Non-compliances may lead to investigations by authorities in EU member states. Details come from a monthly report published by the European Commission.
