Foodborne Diseases ─ Case Studies of Outbreaks in the Agri-Food Industries

This book covers case studies of foodborne disease outbreak investigations in a wide range of food sectors and food products. It examines outbreaks across borders and looks at how issues were dealt with by local and international authorities. The authors focus on real-life microbiological/chemical-associated outbreaks and provide insights on how the outbreaks occurred and, if possible, how they were traced to the source of contamination. The book provides valuable information to assist in the prevention of future outbreaks.
