Food Authenticity
Standardization of analytical methods for verification of food authenticity and data evaluation aspects including validation concepts and terms and definitions, as appropriate. The methods shall be validated, to the extent possible. The CEN/TC will deal with horizontal and vertical methods regarding food authenticity. Vertical authenticity methods which are already dealt with by vertical CEN/TCs (i.e. cereals, fats and oils, cocoa, milk) are excluded. New methods for specific matrices which could be covered by vertical CEN/TCs (i.e. cereals, fats and oils, cocoa, milk) will only be included in the work program of CEN/TC "Food authenticity" after consultation and in agreement with the respective vertical CEN/TC.
