Dissonance in the food traceability regulatory environment and food fraud

Abstract

Central to the inquiry is whether the issue of dissonance in traceability legislation leaves gaps that might be exploited by those engaging in food fraud for economic gain.

We review the academic and professional literature to understand the implications for a hypothetical company manufacturing functional foods in the United Kingdom and trading globally, of the variances in traceability legislation across different domains in which they trade. We draw on concepts of creative dissonance from economic sociology to frame our discussion.

The paper suggests changes needed to reduce the constraints under which such companies function.

The paper will be of value to academics, food supply network organisations and industry regulators seeking to understand the additional risks and constraints placed on food businesses importing and exporting products where there is lack of harmony in international legislation.
