About the Author
The United States Food and Drug Administration, an agency that protects the health of the American people, is one of the most successful and proudest creations of the American democracy. The FDA's origins go back to the start of the 20th century, when revelations about filth in the Chicago stockyards shocked the nation into awareness that, in an industrial economy, protection against unsafe products is beyond any individual's means. The U.S. Congress responded to Upton Sinclair's best-selling The Jungle by passing the Food and Drugs Act of 1906 that prohibited interstate commerce in misbranded and adulterated food and drugs. Enforcement of the law was entrusted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Chemistry, which later became the FDA.
Today, the FDA regulates $1 trillion worth of products a year. It ensures the safety of all food except for meat, poultry and some egg products; ensures the safety and effectiveness of all drugs, biological products (including blood, vaccines and tissues for transplantation), medical devices, and animal drugs and feed; and makes sure that cosmetics and medical and consumer products that emit radiation do no harm.

Great resource on microorganisms,

This review is from: Bad Bug Book: Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins Handbook (Paperback)
I used this for an Infectious Diseases class I was taking and it's a simple book to flip through to use for foodborne pathogens. I had to write a paper and could find ideas in here and then do further research. It's published by the CDC but easily written.
