Assistant Professor Dr. John Spink, Director of the Michigan State University Food Fraud Initiative, discusses the complexities of food fraud and the challenges involved in tackling this multimillion dollar criminal activity on a global scale
Food Fraud Inititiative, Michigan State University
Dr. Spink has been focused on product fraud since Michigan State University’s Food Safety Program and the School of Packaging began research on the topic in 2006. This work expanded to the behavioral sciences and criminology and led to the establishment of the Anti-Counterfeiting and Product Protection Initiative in 2008. In 2009 the work shifted to the School of Criminal Justice where the Initiative evolved into a Program.
