This book helps in Achieving food safety success which requires going beyond traditional training, testing, and inspectional approaches to managing risks. It requires a better understanding of the human dimensions of food safety. In the field of food safety today, much is documented about specific microbes, time/temperature processes, post-process contamination, and HACCP-things often called the hard sciences. There is not much published or discussed related to human behavior-often referred to as the 'soft stuff.' However, looking at foodborne disease trends over the past few decades and published regulatory out-of-compliance rates of food safety risk factors, it's clear that the soft stuff is still the hard stuff. Despite the fact that thousands of employees have been trained in food safety around the world, millions have been spent globally on food safety research, and countless inspections and tests have been performed at home and abroad, food safety remains a significant public health challenge. Why is that? Because to improve food safety, we must realize that it's more than just food science; it's the behavioral sciences, too. In fact, simply put, food safety equals behavior. This is the fundamental principle of this book. If you are trying to improve the food safety performance of a retail or food service establishment, an organization with thousands of employees, or a local community, what you are really trying to do is change people's behavior. The ability to influence human behavior is well documented in the behavioral and social sciences. However, significant contributions to the scientific literature in the field of food safety are noticeably absent. This book will help advance the science by being the first significant collection of 50 proven behavioral science techniques, and be the first to show how these techniques can be applied to enhance employee compliance with desired food safety behaviors and make food safety the social norm in any organization. In addition to working for well-known global brands, Frank Yiannas is the author of Food Safety Culture: Creating a Behavior-Based Food Safety Management System, Past President of the International Association for Food Protection, and recipient of the 2007 NSF Lifetime Achievement Award for Leadership in Food Safety.

This book covers not only the basics of retail food safety, but goes into great depth in key areas, including the control of important retail pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and foodborne viruses. Many different facets of retail food safety from farm-to-fork are discussed, including Retail Preventive Control Plans, HACCP, and food handler certification and training. Important new areas such as the Global Food Safety Initiative, which offers international recognition of established food safety schemes, are also described in great detail. Sanitation in the retail environment is very complex in nature, and this creates challenges when trying to develop and execute an effective sanitation program. These challenges, along with their solutions, are dealt with in detail. The chapter on retail food safety in Europe gives an excellent description of the hazards and controls in food retail and sets them against the European legal framework, using the United Kingdom as an example of their application. The book finishes with an examination of retail food safety risks for populations of different races, ethnicities and income levels, and talks about the need to better understand the barriers to food safety and sanitation that face both retailers and consumers who own and shop in small grocery and convenience stores. Retail Food Safety is an excelling resource for all food safety professionals working in the retail industry, food trade associations, all government agencies which have responsibility for retail food safety, and academics involved in teaching and/or consulting. --
