Food Safety

It is perhaps fitting that Food Safety should have its origins in the UK. The idea for this book was, indeed, conceived and developed at the height of the various food crises in the UK.However, the primary impetus for this book emerged with  the stark realization that some 20 years after the initial food scares, college and university undergraduate curricula in agriculture, veterinary medicine and food science have remained quite impervious to food safety issues. There is still, unfortunately, the perception that food poisoning is rare and that denial and crisis management are effective strategies to restore consumer confidence. Yet we must appreciate that, in comparison with our predecessors, we live in a highly contaminated environment. There is a need to take stock and address the human health implications of food contaminants. Although recent events may have given the impression of a nation enduring a malaise, the UKhas also emerged as a hotbed of dissension regarding other issues such as the attributes and safety of genetically modified (GM) and organic foods. The current furore in the UKover these matters undoubtedly has helped in the globalization of food safety concerns in general, and Food Safety has been designed to crystallize the major themes now emerging in Europe, North America and Japan.
