Unprecedented in the scope of its assessment, the report uses meticulously researched facts and figures to explore the many biological, environmental, and cultural factors that can compromise food safety.

Concise yet thorough in its coverage, the report marks the first major effort to give health planners, policy makers, and members of the food industry a global overview of the causes and consequences of contaminated food, an agenda of research and planning priorities, and a set of workable preventive strategies.
