PRACTICAL FOOD INSPECTION (6th ed.)

PRACTICAL FOOD INSPECTION (6th ed.) only limited applicability for use in the United States. The main content of the book deals with meat inspection, and particularly the pathological determinants for the condemnation or acceptance of meat and meat products. This emphasis on meat inspection follows British practice of major concem with the hygienic control of meat and meat products, and less emphasis upon other food products. This pattern is changing in Great Britain and the author does make an attempt to include considerations of other.foods; there is new material related to the technology and sanitation of other foods. However, these changes are limited in scope and content. The book is intended as a practical manual and includes a great many references to the laws, regulations, and practices of Great Britain. There is an interesting chapter on fish, and on poultry and game. There is some coverage of applications and methods of food sanitation, and the implications of newer methods in food technology for food hygiene. The trends in the development of convenience and newer food products are neglected, and there is little of recent significance pertaining to foodborne disease. The omissions are understandable, since the book is not intended for the advanced worker but for the food inspector in the field.

Abstract

The main content of the book deals with meat inspection, and particularly the pathological determinants for the condemnation or acceptance of meat and meat products.
