00:00Europe's best food safety experts are joining forces to crack down on fraud.

00:06Euronews is following them in this special series called The Food Detectives.

00:11In this first episode, we're with the team fighting fishy deals in fishing.

00:23Over 3 million tonnes of fish are caught and sold in Europe every year.

00:28And not everything that's traded across the continent is exactly what it claims to be.

00:34In fact, the sector often faces questions over traceability, transparency and fraud,

00:40as Norwegian food detective Trull's backyard radar explains.

00:45Some of the problems in the supply chains today could be that fish is caught in areas where you're not allowed to catch them,

00:54or you can catch it at a time when it's not allowed.

00:58You could use gear that is illegal to use in certain places,

01:04or you could claim that your fish is sustainably sourced through some kind of certification,

01:08and the fish that you actually are selling does not have the certification.

01:15The diverse nature of the fishing business complicates the picture,

01:19as catches can come from factory ships or tiny boats.

01:23Records aren't always digitalised, and even naming conventions vary.

01:27For instance, there are a lot of different types of catching gear that exist.

01:32These do not have standard names across the fisheries,

01:35so they might be reported as completely different things by similar fishermen doing similar jobs.

01:41So, food detectives Trull's backyard radar and Karolina Grun are working on a solution

01:51to make fishing fraud much more difficult.

01:54Karolina oversees quality management at this Danish-owned fish processing plant in Koschelin in northern Poland.

02:01She says the fraud usually occurs before the pallets of frozen fish reach their factory.

02:06We are receiving the fish, the whole fish, so we can see the species.

02:13We are sure what fish it is.

02:16We can distinguish it, but we cannot confirm only at the look at it where it's coming from

02:24and with which catching gear it was carved or in which period.

02:32So, when we receive the goods to our factory, not all of the information is available in the documents.

02:40Trull's and Karolina are now working together to fill in those gaps in their knowledge along the supply chain.

02:45I think the main problem with the information is that if it exists, it's hard to get at.

02:52So, it's kind of a bit of detective work for each unit that we need to study.

02:58Their ultimate goal is to develop a digital tamper-proof format for a new kind of product passport

03:04that follows the fish from the sea to the supermarket.

03:07We are trying to make a link between all of these different ideas and labels

03:13so that you can follow a single pallet all the way through the supply chain.

03:19The more we increase the traceability and transparency in the supply chain, the harder it is to cheat.

03:26Just one example of how tricky traceability can be is here in the filleting operation.

03:31In this processing hole, we are trimming the fish.

03:35We are cutting it to the specification, as well as the customer.

03:41The challenge we have here is that the specifications are very narrow,

03:47giving us various parameters that we need to keep.

03:51And for that, we have to mix different lots together, different batches of product.

03:58Right now, with no digital product passport in place,

04:01keeping track of which fish went into which product is extremely time-consuming.

04:07Our team in the logistic is spending hours on making sure we have the right data

04:14in the right place in our system.

04:17The food detective's aim is to make such lengthy tasks a thing of the past

04:22and help consumers sail a safe passage through an ocean of information.

04:26The hope is that the work we're doing will become an industry-wide standard,

04:31where all the actors in all the various supply chains in the fisheries industry

04:36are able to collect and share information in a standard way,

04:40so that when you see the fish on your plate, you know exactly what it is.

04:44And it has been caught sustainably.

04:46Well, that's all for this episode.

04:50Next time, in the food detectives, we're in Germany and France

04:53with the team tracking fraudulent chicken and beef.

04:56See you then.
