Impact of tracking and tracing on the tobacco industry
https://tobaccotactics.org/article/track-and-trace/
Tobacco companies, therefore, have a vested interest in gaining control of and undermining the effectiveness of tracking and tracing systems. If an effective global system was to be implemented, tobacco companies could face increased tax payments and fines. They could even be subject to further litigation related to tobacco smuggling, if they were found responsible for their products ending up on the illicit market.

ACM Leidraad Duurzaamheidsclaims
https://www.acm.nl/sites/default/files/documents/leidraad-duurzaamheidsclaims.pdf


De Autoriteit Consument en Markt (hierna ook: de ACM) is een onafhankelijke toezichthouder. De missie van de ACM is om markten goed te laten werken voor mensen en bedrijven, nu en in de toekomst. Dit doet de ACM onder meer door toezicht te houden op de naleving van de wetten en regels waaraan bedrijven zich moeten houden in hun omgang met consumenten. De ACM draagt bij aan voldoende informatie en vertrouwen zodat consumenten een goede beslissing kunnen nemen over de aankoop van een product of dienst. Ook beschermt de ACM bedrijven tegen oneerlijke concurrentie van bedrijven die zich niet aan de regels houden. Met deze ’Leidraad duurzaamheidsclaims’ (hierna ook: de leidraad) legt de ACM aan bedrijven uit hoe zij de consumentenregels over oneerlijke handelspraktijken toepast op duurzaamheidsclaims.1 Met vuistregels, uitleg en praktische voorbeelden geeft de ACM handvatten aan bedrijven voor het formuleren en evalueren van duurzaamheidsclaims. De voorbeelden dienen als illustraties van duurzaamheidsclaims die mogelijk misleidend zijn. Of een claim daadwerkelijk misleidend is, is afhankelijk van de omstandigheden van het geval.

The 11 sins of seafood: Assessing a decade of food fraud reports in the global supply chain
https://ift.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1541-4337.12998
Due to complex, valuable, and often extremely opaque supply chains, seafood is a commodity that has experienced a high prevalence of food fraud throughout the entirety of its logistics network. Fraud detection and prevention require an in-depth understanding of food supply chains and their vulnerabilities and risks so that food business operators, regulators, and other stakeholders can implement practical countermeasures. An analysis of historical criminality within a sector, product, or country is an important component and has not yet been conducted for the seafood sector. This study examines reported seafood fraud incidents from the European Union's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, Decernis's Food Fraud Database, HorizonScan, and LexisNexis databases between January 01, 2010 and December 31, 2020.

Article: We Need Assurance!
https://www.acsac.org/2005/papers/Snow.pdf


'We Need Assurance!' is a paper from 1999 by Brian Snow of the NSA. It is a classic in the computer security literature. In certification the term assurance is used to name those activities that safeguard that products sold as certified are indeed entitled to this claim. Supply chain assurance is a distinct field of security and the parallels with the concerns of this paper are obvious throughout.
