Frank Yiannas is the "courageous pioneer that helps to lead the way" to a more advanced, improved Global Food Safety. "Food Safety culture" offers an innovative outlook on the subject, and underlines the importance of understanding numerous factors (personal, organizational, environmental) that will affect food safety culture and behavior. In an easy-to-read manner, the author successfully introduces concepts from various fields, including organizational behavior, management, and communication, to traditional Food Safety management systems. The book can be used as a great tool not only by food safety professionals, but by leaders who want to advance organizational culture by focusing on people besides programs.
I greatly recommend this book to anyone who wants to change organizational culture and make food safety an integral part of business operation.

An inspiring book on the human dimensions of food safety.One of the most important challenges in food safety may be implementing an effective behavior-based food safety management system. This book is an impressive summary of what really matters and which we usually learn mainly through experience. I strongly recommend this book.

An excellent primer blending the hard science and soft behavior aspects of creating a holistic approach to food safety. Certainly not a detailed "how-to", but the author gives good references of where to start and why.

The author's experience in this arena certainly shines through the text, and lends inspiration from a variety of recognized sources and quotable icons.

I especially appreciated the emphasis on leadership at all levels, but especially the focus on the uppermost levels and the need to "be" the desired behavior.

I found it to be an excellent reminder for all aspects of leadership - not only in the area food safety.
