Product Description
Review
"This book explains the causes of food poisoning in clear and non-technical language, illustrated with examples from actual outbreaks." -- Food Science and Technology Abstracts "This new edition continues to use a straightforward and easy to understand language and its 18 respected contributors are to be congratulated ... The layout of the text and the presentation of diagrams and illustrations make a positive use of colour and style." -- International Food Hygiene "(It) remains an essential course text for students and lecturers dealing with food science, environmental health and the food service industry. It is however much more than that. The clarity and user-friendly text is a feature of the book which makes it a valuable contribution to the promotion of understanding of food safety challenges from a holistic point of view amongst a broad range of readers outside the academic world in both the developed as well as the developing part of the worl. You will not be disappointed by ordering the book." -- Niels Skovgaard, International Journal of Food Microbiology "It is good news for all those with an interest in food hygiene and the prevention of food poisoning that a new edition of this widely used work has been published. The last revision came out in 1993 and much has changed since that time ... This updated edition deserves a place on the shelves of all those with an interest in food poisoning and its prevention." -- N. Kingcott, Journal of Public Health, July 2008 "I was so struck by the book's layout and design, that within 30 minutes I had added it to our list of recommended texts for our Environmental Health degree courses, and requested our libraries to purchase additional copies!" -- Stephen Forsythe, Society for General Microbiology Quarterly
