Foodborne Disease: A Focus for Health Education

World Health Organization (2000)

This book promotes the education of food handlers and consumers as a strategy for reducing the illnesses and enormous economic losses caused by foodborne disease. Addressed to policy makers as well as food safety managers in the public and private sectors, the book responds to mounting concern over the increasing incidence of foodborne disease, including outbreaks caused by new or newly recognized pathogens. Readers will find the facts, figures, and practical examples needed to demonstrate both the links between food and disease and the many reasons that health education is one of the best approaches to prevention.
