Text of Note
This book examines the state of our food protection readiness. Accompanied with actual cases of domestic food-related contamination and terrorism, the author provides the battle plan against our food supplies and a blueprint for the defense of our critical, agriculture infrastructure. Included are detailed overviews of 46 foodborne pathogenic microorganisms and natural toxins, suggested guidelines for security measures at each link in the food supply chain, and identification of potential targets.
