Reviews

The book should be an essential read for anyone interested in food safety and a requirement in any library of a Department teaching microbiology of food as part of their syllabus. (Society for General Microbiology, June 2010) This most recent edition to the IFT Press book series examines the current state of the problems associated with fresh produce by reviewing the recent, high-profile outbreaks associated with freshproduce, including the possible internalization of pathogens by plant tissues, and understanding how human pathogens survive and multiply in water, soils, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
