2015 PROSE Awards - Honorable Mention, Single Volume Reference - Science: Association of American Publishers, Food Safety Management

Honorable Mention, Single Volume Reference/Science, 2015 PROSE Awards, Association of American Publishers

Food Safety Management: A Practical Guide for the Food Industry—with an Honorable Mention for Single Volume Reference/Science in the 2015 PROSE Awards from the Association of American Publishers—is the first book to present an integrated, practical approach to the management of food safety throughout the production chain. While many books address specific aspects of food safety, no other book guides you through the various risks associated with each sector of the production process or alerts you to the measures needed to mitigate those risks.

Using practical examples of incidents and their root causes, this book highlights pitfalls in food safety management and provides key insight into the means of avoiding them. Each section addresses its subject in terms of relevance and application to food safety and, where applicable, spoilage. It covers all types of risks (e.g., microbial, chemical, physical) associated with each step of the food chain. The book is a reference for food safety managers in different sectors, from primary producers to processing, transport, retail and distribution, as well as the food services sector.

• Honorable Mention for Single Volume Reference/Science in the 2015 PROSE Awards from the Association of American Publishers
• Addresses risks and controls (specific technologies) at various stages of the food supply chain based on food type, including an example of a generic HACCP study
• Provides practical guidance on the implementation of elements of the food safety assurance system
• Explains the role of different stakeholders of the food supply

Resumen (en inglés):

Food insecurity, the lack of access at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life, continues to be a growing problem as populations increase while the world economy struggles. Formulating effective policies for addressing these issues requires thorough understanding of the empirical data and application of appropriate measurement and analysis of that information.

Food Security, Poverty and Nutrition Policy Analysis, 2^nd edition has been revised and updated to include hands-on examples and real-world case studies using the latest datasets, tools and methods. Providing a proven framework for developing applied policy analysis skills, this book is based on over 30 years of food and nutrition policy research at the International Food Policy Research Institute and has been used worldwide to impart the combined skills of statistical data analysis, computer literacy and their use in developing policy alternatives.

This book provides core information in a format that provides not only the concept behind the method, but real-world applications giving the reader valuable, practical knowledge.

• Updated to address the latest datasets and tools, including STATA software, the future of policy analysis
• Includes a new chapter on program evaluation taking the reader from data analysis to policy development to post-implementation measurement
• Identifies the proper analysis method, its application to available data and its importance in policy development using real-world scenarios
• Over 30% new content and fully revised throughout

Resumen (en inglés): The accelerated globalization of the food supply, coupled with toughening government standards, is putting global food production, distribution, and retail industries under a high-intensity spotlight. High-publicity cases about foodborne illnesses over recent years have heightened public awareness of food safety issues, and momentum has been building to find new ways to detect and identify foodborne pathogens and eliminate food-related infections and intoxications. This extensively revised 4e covers how the incidence and impact of foodborne diseases is determined, foodborne intoxications with an introduction noting common features among these diseases and control measures that are applicable before and after the basic foodstuff is harvested.
