About this magazine
Food safety has been much in the news. The past few years have seen some highly publicized outbreaks of foodborne illness, linked to such sources as E. coli O157:H7 in hamburger and unpasteurized apple juice, Listeria monocytogenes in hot dogs, and Salmonella in poultry products. These outbreaks and the resulting publicity have led to a heightened public awareness of food safety risks, as well as new efforts by Government, the food industry, and consumer groups to promote the safety of the Nation’s food supply throughout the food system.
