VACCP and TACCP

Food defence is defined as the “intentional contamination of food” and is also referred to as biovigilance or bioterrorism; whereas, Food Fraud is defined as “fraudulent and intentional substitution, dilution or addition to a product or raw material, or misrepresentation of the product material, for the purpose of financial gain by increasing the apparent value of the product or reducing the cost of its production”.
