Food Protection and Security: Preventing and Mitigating Contamination during Food Processing and Production

Food Protection and Security: Preventing and Mitigating Intentional and Unintentional Contamination of Food and Beverage presents the latest information on our need to protect our food supply from accidental contamination, economically motivated adulteration, and contamination with intent to harm (bioterrorism or agro-terrorism). This book covers all three branches of food protection, providing a comprehensive overview of the methods and strategy involved. Part one covers the need for food protection, looking at potential hazards in the production, processing, and supply chain. Part two looks at detection methods for contaminants in food, with the final section addressing food contamination incidents and prevention and response strategies. Explores the need for food protection, from natural disasters to contamination in food processing facilitiesExamines techniques used to detect contaminants in food, such as microbiological testing and fingerprintingProvides key ways to address food contamination issues INDICE: Part 1 The need for food protection Natural hazards Disasters Bio-/agro-terrorism Contamination in food processing facilities Contamination in food production systems Water as a potential food safety hazard Regulatory issues and food protection threats Part 2 Detecting contaminants in food Determining an appropriate detection strategy Fingerprinting Microbiological testing Non-targeted profiling Using isotopes for traceability Omics technologies Sensors and nanotechnology Part 3 Addressing food contamination issues Creating a food defense response plan in processing facilities Creating a food defense response plan in production systems Emergency response systems Food safety training and education Hygienic design and maintenance of processing facilities Tamper-proof packaging Public health response to incidents
