Asian grain-based food products and the European scheme for food protected Designations of origin: A Critical analysis

ConclusionsAn integrated portrait of protected Asian grain-based products was obtained by merging information from Product Specifications and up-to-date scientific literature. Gaps and needs for proof of provenance were highlighted. The study is a baseline for scientists intending to support control bodies in verifying the authenticity of the protected Asian grain-based food products and the compliance thereof to Product Specification. It is also a hint for regulatory authorities on how to improve current legal framework by applying the best available science, so that producers, consumers and the system itself can be protected from frauds or counterfeits.
