Presents the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and in-depth information on microbiological food safety.

• Describes the problems with imported foods and suggests specific programs and steps to improve the monitoring and safety of imported foods.
• Provides a thorough explanation of the challenges and solutions to this emerging crisis.
• Explains the systematic risks inherent in food production in developing countries, the current US food safety system, newly acquired foodborne pathogens, and recommendations for systematic changes to the monitoring of imported food.
• Presents proven concepts of microbial risk analysis and practical methods to address this growing public health concern.

If the U.S. food safety system is allowed to continue unchanged, there are likely to be major increases in the occurrence and size of foodborne outbreaks as U.S. food imports increase from countries in which risky food production, harvesting and processing practices exist.
