Currently, there is no one book or textbook that covers all aspects of retail food safety. It is becoming apparent that a number of issues relating to retail food safety have come to the forefront in some jurisdictions of late. For example, a recent USDA risk assessment has pointed out that issues occurring at USA retail appear to be critical in terms of contamination of deli-meat. As well, a large listeriosis outbreak in Quebec pointed to retail cross-contamination as a key issue. In terms of sanitation, a number of advances have been made, but these have not all been synthesized together in one chapter, with a focus on retail. In addition, the whole area of private standards and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) have come to the forefront of late and these as well will be explored in great detail. Other aspects related to the safety of important food commodities such as seafood, meat, produce and dairy will also be discussed and salient areas addressed.

Food Safety Managementis intended for retail food safety professionals and business leaders tasked to build and manage food safety programs, as well as regulatory professionals, academic researchers, including students of food science, and other food industry professionals who work to ensure the safety of food along the supply chain.This book will help the reader to: · Develop and lead a food safety management program/department using a national brand perspective · Provide the proper organization to manage the work necessary to ensure food safety is a priority within all business functions in the organization (from supplier to retail units)· Provide the systems, broad specifications, expected training/education, and facility design needs to manage food safety risk in each business function· Demonstrate examples that can be used for continuous improvement in sustaining and building upon the food safety benefits achieved by the food safety management program· Provide methods to gain influence and obtain resources to support food safety responsibilities within the business· Develop important relationships with public health officials based on new science and current regulatory compliance to ensure cost effective business management About the AuthorDr. Hal King is a public health professional who has worked in the government, academia, and industry sectors to innovate public health intervention strategies for the prevention of infectious diseases. He is currently the Director of Food and Product Safety at Chick-fil-A Inc. The Food Microbiology and Food Safety series is published in conjunction with the International Association for Food Protection, a non-profit association for food safety professionals. Dedicated to the life-long educational needs of its Members, IAFP provides an information network through its two scientific journals (Food Protection Trendsand Journal of Food Protection), its educational Annual Meeting, international meetings and symposia, and interaction between food safety professionals

This paper argues that discussion of new food-safety governance should be framed by the realization that the dominant food system within which food-safety governance is designed to makes food safe is itself a structural and systemic sources of food un-safety, poor health and a future of food insecurity for many. For some, an appropriate policy response lies in addressing the connections between the food system and diseases such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes. For others it means subsuming food-safety governance within food security governance. For yet others, safe food implies food sovereignty governance and the primacy of a climate change resilient food system. Conventional approaches to food-safety governance are typically framed within a liability model of responsibility that has limited usefulness for addressing institutional, structural or systemic sources of harm such as those critics increasingly attribute to the dominant food system and which are not amenable to remedy by food-safety governance as it is widely understood. One cannot identify critical hazard points where risk is to be managed. These are food-system safety challenges. Because food-safety governance is so deeply political there needs to be greater attention to issues of governance rather than the more usual focus on the technologies of food-safety. Feminist political theorists have much to contribute to re-thinking food-safety governance in the context of diversity and the complexities of power. One could usefully start with the simple questions, "what food is to be kept-safe, for whom and who is the subject of food-safety governance in a post-Westphalian political economic order?" These questions can help unpack both the narrow parochialism and the misleading universalism of food-safety talk. This paper answers that neither the citizens of a particular state (or network of states) nor the falsely universalizing identity of 'the consumer' are adequate answers to these questions about 'who' and 'what'. Answering these questions about who and what with respect to food-safety governance brings issues of justice, ecology, public health and the legitimacy and nature of governance itself into the heart of food-safety discussions.

Food Safety Basics helps readers trace the history of food safety, explore the science behind it, and discuss controversies from an objective viewpoint. The title will engage readers on the topic and help them to weigh the pros and cons as they make their own food decisions. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.

This paper aims to improve the efficiency of food safety supervision and the effective way to ensure food safety through the comparative study of the imported food safety supervision system of China's network, and the comparative study of the main methods to ensure food safety. In this paper, according to the basic theory of food safety, for the world's major developed countries government food safety regulatory system, the Chinese government's food safety regulatory system research, China's food regulatory measures related to a new model idea, several parts, and discover network imported food safety supervision system in our country's own insufficiency, thus absorbing the precious experience of foreign management system, finally proposed consummates our country network imported food safety regulatory system.

Food Safety and Food Security features articles from the Wiley Handbook of Science and Technology for Homeland Security covering topics related to processing and packaging methods to protect food supply against contamination and to mitigate the consequences of contaminated foods. It discusses related detection systems as well as decontamination and disposal of contaminated foods

"Food safety depends on strong partnerships. CDC and the regulatory agencies (the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] and the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service [FSIS]) play complementary roles in the federal food safety effort. State and local health departments also play critical roles in all aspects of food safety. CDC provides the vital link between illness in people and the food safety systems of government agencies and food producers. CDC does this by: Monitoring human illness--tracking the occurrence of foodborne diseases; Defining the public health burden of foodborne illness; Attributing illness to specific foods and settings; Investigating outbreaks and sporadic cases--managing the DNA 'fingerprinting' network for foodborne illness-causing germs in all states to detect outbreaks; Empowering state and local health departments; Targeting prevention measures to meet long-term food safety goals; Informing food safety action and policy--the new Food Safety Modernization Act and the egg safety regulation were driven in part by CDC data and investigative findings." - p.
