The European Commission have now published their September 2025 report on EU Agri-Food Fraud suspicions.
The purpose of this report is twofold:
- Assist Member States’ authorities for the enforcement of the provisions of Article 9 (2) of the Official Control Regulation which requires the organisation of risk-based controls to identify and combat fraudulent and deceptive practices along the agri-food chain (across some control areas listed in its Article 1(2)).
- Provide valuable but selected information to stakeholders of the agri-food sector to perform adequate vulnerability assessments and identify new emerging risks
The monthly report covers food, feedingstuff, materials and articles intended to come into contact directly or indirectly with food, animal welfare issues for farmed animals, plant protection products, veterinary medicinal products and other inputs that may end in the form of residues and contaminants in food and feed.
The monthly report does not reconcile data and suspicions related to the following subjects:
- animal and plant health,
- release into the environment of Genetically Modified Organisms,
- animal welfare for companion animals,
- placing on the market and use of plant protection products, veterinary medicinal products and other inputs that are not ending as residues and contaminants in food and feed, and
- animal by-products and derived products when they not intended to be used for oral feeding to animals.
