Case studies in food safety and authenticity: Lessons from real-life situations

Many food contamination issues begin with a consumer complaint or outbreak. Careful detective work using a trouble-shooting approach is then required to recognize the cause. Once the cause has been identified a strategy needs to be planned and implemented to solve the problem and prevent similar events happening again. Experts from different continents and backgrounds report and analysea wide range of noteworthy real-life cases in this unique volume. Together their contributions represent an essential reference for case-based learning. The first three parts of the book contain cases relating to investigations of foodborne disease outbreaks, the tracing of sources of microbial contamination and crisis management. Cases in the following two parts address safe food production, both at the farm level and more generally. The final part of the book contains cases associated with food adulteration and authenticity.
