This survey of International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) members regarding food fraud prevention, management, education, and information sharing included 166 WHO member states that resulted in 175 responses. The respondents engage in food fraud prevention (70%) or are responsible for food fraud incident response (74%). Nearly all respondents acknowledged a desire for more guidance and information on best practices in managing the full range of "food safety events involving food fraud" (97%), but also for prevention of such events (97%), indicating a need to provide technical support beyond acute incident response. The scope of food fraud covered in the survey comprised the full range of fraudulent activities, including the addition of adulterant-substances, tampering (including mislabeling), theft, smuggling, gray market/diversion, and counterfeiting (intellectual property rights). Key needs included: capacity-building/education; a platform for information sharing; and utilization of INFOSAN as an interagency/intergovernmental collaboration point.
这项针对国际食品安全当局网络（INFOSAN）成员开展的有关食品欺诈预防、管理、教育和信息共享的调查涵盖了166个世卫组织成员国，共收到175份回复。受访者参与食品欺诈预防工作（70%）或负责应对食品欺诈事件（74%）。几乎所有受访者都承认，希望获得更多关于管理各类“涉及食品欺诈的食品安全事件”最佳做法的指导和信息（97%），同时也希望获得预防此类事件的指导和信息（97%），这表明除了应对突发事故外，还需要提供技术支持。调查涵盖的食品欺诈范围包括各类欺诈活动，如添加掺假物质、篡改（包括错误标签）、盗窃、走私、灰色市场/转移以及假冒（知识产权）。主要需求包括：能力建设/教育；信息共享平台；以及将INFOSAN用作跨机构/政府间协作点。
