Food Fraud, Spying and Authenticity

Episode 111, Northeastern Lecture Series, Featuring Mitchell Weinberg, CEO of INSCATECH

To kick off our Northeastern Lecture Series, I give you an episode that feels like a spy flick than anything else.

Mitchell leads and manages food spies who look for food fraud in various companies and his mission in life is to make food authentic. This was all inspired by a food safety incident in China.  So this episode brings us to the complex world of food fraud, and how Mitchell promotes food authenticity through various services and non-profits. We also get into a discussion on blockchain. Though nobody seems to truly understand blockchain, Mitchell tells us why it might not be the panacea we’re looking for.
