Authenticity and traceability are key issues for the protection of traditional food products, and EU and member states have developed quality branding schemes and specific regulation to this end. Recent scandals connected to frauds related to origin, authenticity, safety, labelling of some PDO and non-PDO cheeses have weakened consumers’ confidence in quality branding schemes and caused severe economical damage to producers. The objective of this meeting, organized by the Food Science Institute of the National Research Council of Italy, is to present to researchers, public quality control agencies, cheesemakers organizations, an overview of analytical, economic and technical issues on cheese authenticity and traceability.
