The book will provide an overview of the important issues in food safety, which shows no sign of diminishing as a topic of huge concern from industry to consumer. The book does not set out to compete with large standard food microbiology titles that are well established, but will be a companion text with less scientific background detail and more information for those actually going into jobs where a practical knowledge of food safety issues is necessary. The companion website for this book can be found at: http://www.foodmicrobe.com/info.htm * Practically oriented * Author has wide experience of teaching cutting edge food safety information * Topic of great and growing concern * Succinct, core, vital information for food industry personnel
Dr Stephen Forsythe has many years' experience of teaching food microbiology to university students and to professionals within the food industry and government regulatory bodies. He has written an extremely useful and important book that is not only a key text for all those studying food science, technology and food microbiology but a valuable resource for government and food company regulatory personnel, quality control officers, public health inspectors, environmental health officers, food scientists, technologists and microbiologists.
