This book is a practical reference on food and water safety that will be useful for food managers, trainers/educators, food handlers, and consumers worldwide. The first two chapters emphasize the importance of food and water safety on health and life maintenance. Each chapter has an introductory paragraph that states the objective and scope of the chapter text. Definitions of useful terms, tables, and illustrations serve to make the key points better understood and easier to remember. Review questions at the end of each chapter enhance the learning experience, and the chapter references will give the reader a chance to delve into areas of interest for further information. A very unique feature of this book is the segment on foodborne disease outbreaks. A selection of fifty cases are presented that provide important learning tools for problem-solving and evaluating foodborne illnesses. Water safety is explained in great detail, whether it is used for drinking and cooking or in recreational water facilities. Numerous examples of etiologic agents that cause illness from contaminated food and water are discussed. Guidelines to supply safe food and water for emergencies that include preparedness in case of bioterrorism, power outage, floods, hurricanes, and other disasters are given. Practical guidelines about food and water safety when handling foods throughout the food chain are explored in each chapter. In addition, a glossary of terms commonly used in food and water safety, with cross-references to the chapter contents, is included. In light of global trade and increasing cultural diversity in food consumption, this book also deals with challenges for the future to ensure a safe water and food supply.
