Outbreak: Foodborne Illness and the Struggle for Food Safety

Don't be fooled by the sober, clear (and entertaining) narrative style of this book...: this is an in-depth, comprehensive and professional study on the subject.This book was very helpful for me (a non-American Food Safety professional) to understand the FS American system: story, institutions, personas. Highly recommended.Despite the relatively expensive price of the book, I hope there will be in future up-to-date editions since it treats a quite evolving subject.

Well written account of the major food-borne illness outbreaks that have led to the practices and legislation that is in place today. Thoroughly researched, with excellent analysis of the challenges still faced by the industry and consumers today.

Well written coverage about the history of major food borne illness outbreaks and the evolution of regulations that followed.

Lytton's book is the Silent Spring by Rachael Carson and Sandy County Almanac by Aldo Leopold for the food industry. A fascinating and easy read. Essential reading.
