- Trusted Intermediary Compromise
- The attacker write access is the supplier substituting a cheaper adulterant engineered to pass those identity tests — a deliberate spoof of the verification the consumer relies on.
This sourceDescribes upstream supplier substitution of melamine to spoof nitrogen/protein identity tests, propagating through trusted food-supply channels.

Ingelfinger explains melamine was added to raise apparent protein on nitrogen-based testing, but does not say a supplier substituted it as a cheaper, test-engineered spoof.
“The fact that melamine could increase the apparent protein content and, furthermore, make the product look milky may have been irresistible to those who would adulterate.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
