Foodborne disease: a focus for health education.

World Health Organization (2000)

This book provides a guide to the education of food handlers and consumers as an effective 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 "row v recognized pathogens. Readers will find that the book presents the facts, figures, and practical examples needed to understand both the links between food and disease and the many reasons why heath education is one of the best approaches to prevention.

Noting that food safety issues rarely receive adequate priority in public health programs, Foodborne Disease has a persuasive function, aiming to help policy makers understand the costs of food contamination and the benefits of prevention. Numerous case studies of recent outbreaks are used to illustrate the wide range of factors--from errors in preparation and storage to changes in the complexity of the food chain--that contribute to foodborne disease and offer opportunities for prevention.
