The increasing complexity in the global supply chain for food products has led to the emergence of several challenges, including food fraud, food adulteration, food contamination, and food origin. Food items that are extremely prone to being engaged in these kinds of activities include honey, olive oil, coffee, milk powder, spices, tea, fruit juice, and wine. Therefore, it is not surprising to see an increasing number of studies on Food Authentication.
The Food fraud prevention technologies, intelligent analytics techniques, and sustainable regulations are increasingly becoming key demands, hence prompting research in several fields, including chemometrics, spectroscopy, machine learning, and food chain traceability. Innovative technologies are also contributing significantly towards making analytical tests fast and accurate in establishing food authenticity, thus enabling official food testing labs and regulatory bodies to enhance their food authenticity validation mechanisms. Emerging food contamination detection techniques and analytical methodologies are also proving instrumental in enhancing food authenticity validation and industry regulatory compliance, among other aspects within the food industry environment.
Papers on innovative methods for food authentication and traceability are welcome for submission to this Special Issue of Food Control. Papers from researchers and practitioners from different disciplines associated with food control systems are encouraged to submit papers for this interdisciplinary publication on emerging areas in food authentication and safety.
Publication in this Special Issue enables scientists to make contributions to cutting-edge research in food authenticity, food regulation, and traceability.

The globalisation of food markets at a fast pace and the complexity involved in the logistics of food products have presented several issues related to food authenticity, contamination, and falsified food labels. There is an increase in research on the development of new analytical techniques, chemometric models, and traceability systems to improve the process of food verification and control.
The current studies on food authentication include the use of analytical tests, machine learning, spectroscopy, traceability techniques, and sustainable analytical chemistry approaches. These technologies help in detecting fraud, verifying sources, conducting contamination analysis, and monitoring intelligent regulation.
In this regard, the Special Issue proposal seeks to support research and development of original knowledge on issues of Food Authenticity and Traceability, food adulteration detection, and analytical methods for regulatory control. Contributions from scholars, scientists, chemists, regulatory bodies, and industry members associated with food safety and traceability are solicited.
