Abstract: A survey of toxic components found in animal foodstuffs includes toxicants occurring naturally, food additives, pesticide residues, and other chemical contaminants accidentally or intentionally introduced by man. Four categories of animal foods are considered: meat and…
Understanding the causes and contributing factors leading to outbreaks of food-borne illness associated with contamination of fresh produce is a worldwide challenge for everyone from the growers of fresh-cut produce through the entire production and delivery process. The premise…
Little more than a hundred years ago, ordinary Americans had no idea that many deadly ailments were the work of microorganisms, let alone that their own behavior spread such diseases. The Gospel of Germs shows how the revolutionary findings of late-nineteenth-century bacteriolog…
