Ever since the 2013 horsemeat scandal in Europe, the awareness of food adulteration and food fraud has heavily increased. The varying prices and availability of food products from different origin provide opportunities for the incorrect declaration of food components, both from a quality and quantity point of view. For example, horsemeat may be labelled as beef. In addition, the interest in animal speciation in meat products is based on religious requirements (halal and kosher). Religiously motivated inspections, particularly of pork in meat products or processed foods, do not include any technical threshold values. This means that purely qualitative and particularly sensitive tests are required especially for detecting the presence of pork. However, not only meat products are being adulterated. Food fraud is widespread in fish and dairy products, too.
