Description
This useful reference presents laws, facts, and figures about food safety, illustrated with real-life examples.
Salmonella, mad cow disease, pesticides-just how safe is the food we eat? In Food Safety, laws, facts, and figures are backed up with real life events such as Upton Sinclair's 1906 expose of the meat packing industry. Yet 90 years later, 732 people were poisoned and 4 children died after they ate tainted beef.
* Biographies of influential figures
* Directory of organizations and resources for access to further study
