From GFSI's POV it relates to intent, eg 

 

A  collective  term  encompassing  the  deliberate  and  intentional  substitution,
addition, tampering or misrepresentation of food, food ingredients or food packaging, labelling,
product information or false or misleading statements made about a product for economic gain
that could impact consumer health
.” (GFSI Benchmarking Requirements, 2017)

Thanks you for your answer

Interesting if deliberate contamination was added, and if so, it would be food defense, specially Norovirus ....
