Why join fiin
fiin membership provides access to unique insight and intelligence into food and drink authenticity trends, enabling a more strategic and targeted approach to supply chain assurance.
Our features
Members receive a breadth of quantitative and qualitative data and insight into food authenticity in the UK and globally, which include:
Data submission through an online platform providing a smooth, automated process for submission, anonymisation and collation
Access to view and analyse data from over 440,000 test results through an online dashboard
Monthly global horizon scanning newsletter including supply chain risks by commodity group and food fraud news
A quarterly report on the top ten areas of food authenticity focus, based on exclusive member insight and intelligence
A quarterly publication on global food supply chain integrity, developed by the TSG and our independent scientific advisor
Specialist member webinars and drop-in expert Q&A sessions. Participation in industry-led working groups on authenticity challenges and fiin-funded collaborative testing programmes
Regulatory intelligence
fiin has an established, structured relationship with the UK’s principal food regulatory bodies, including the Food Standards Agency’s National Food Crime Unit (NFCU), Food Standards Scotland (FSS) and the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).
This enables a two-way flow of intelligence: fiin shares industry trend data with regulators on a quarterly basis, while members benefit from regulatory insight that would not otherwise be accessible. Where urgent issues arise, members receive real-time alerts.
Membership of fiin means contributing to and helping shape the regulatory picture, not simply responding to it.
* fiin’s intelligence-sharing arrangements with regulators operate on an industry-wide, collective basis and do not replace the legal obligations of individual organisations. Where a company has a statutory duty to notify a competent authority, such as the FSA, FSS or FSAI, that obligation remains in full and must be fulfilled independently of fiin membership.
Through these relationships and our extensive network, we are not only able to share key information on industry trends on a quarterly basis, but also member e-alerts on current issues in real time.
Supported by Campden BRI, the intelligence and insight that fiin can provide grows with its membership base. By joining our pioneering network, you will ensure the UK continues to be leading-edge in deterring food fraud.
