After overviewing the history and status of food safety, college librarian Redman presents a chronology; biographical sketches of major figures such as Rachel Carson, van Leeuwenhoek, Louis Pasteur, and Upton Sinclair; facts and statistics about specific toxins; a directory of organizations; and annotated bibliographies of print and non-print sources. Originally published in 2000, the second edition reprints sections from the FDA model food code of 2005 on HACCP plans, the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, and EPA rules on concentrated animal feeding operations.
