Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had the opportunity to examine this book. As someone in the food industry I was disappointed by Food Chemical Safety. Only one chapter deals specifically with the United States. Food safety is food safety; but when you buy a book on the subject; you want one which is applicable to you. The book is narrowly focussed on the U.K. food industry. Beyond the geographical location; the book lacked depth. Short paragraphs (which made for an impressive Table of Contents) provided no substance. If you are reading about food chemical safety; you want information beyond a short paragraph which assumes you know nothing to begin with. As the book is written, I could see its only use as a text in a library for college or high school students with a paper to write.

Written by an international team of experts, the collection looks at the legislative context, methods of risk analysis, analytical methods and at the major groups of contaminants entering the supply chain. In each case the collection looks at levels of risk to consumers, methods of detection and control systems to manage the risks posed by contaminants ranging from pesticides to chemical migration from food packaging.
