Summary
New analytical methods are ready for use and will be helpful in
combatting food fraud
At the moment, most of the methods are too expensive and
complex to use for routine control
It is necessary to improve the legal framework.
Improvement of analytical methods is only one instrument
in the combat against food fraud.
