The AOAC has set up working groups composed of experts in analytical chemistry, diagnostic tools and food fraud from all countries and all areas of sectors (academy, industries, governments ...) to develop guidelines for the validation of detection of fraud in food products. In other words, these working groups will establish the criteria to be met by a detection methods so that they can be recognized internationally. As for now, very few food fraud detection methods are internationally validated for food fraud detection. The research group of the PARERA platform is participating in these discussions.
