The newly revised and substantially updated seventh edition of Wilson's Practical Meat Inspection by W. G. Wilson is a documented and in-depth descriptive survey of animal processing and the associated dangers of infected and diseased meats. Expertly and methodically guiding readers through comprehensive study of the intricacies of processing meat products, Wilson's Practical Meat Inspection provides an analysis of diseases, disorders, infections, viruses, and other issues damaging or endangering particular meats, while providing readers with a practical and well established reference to meat safety related legislation. As a textbook study of animal produce and the food industry, as well as its cautionary details of the meat processing industry in an age of BSE, foot-and-mouth disease, and other potential meat-related health hazards, Wilson's Practical Meat Inspection is confidently recommended reading for food safety activists, government policy makers, meat quality control inspectors, meat processors, food scientists, and the non-specialist general reader seeking a sound, well written introduction to meat processing, meat inspection, meat safety related issues.

There are not as many pictures as I had hoped. However, the book layout is very good and the overview of diseases is excellent for the public health veterinarian.
