Seafood Safety
Committee on Evaluation of the Safety of Fishery Products (Author), Food and Nutrition Board (Author)
Description
Can Americans continue to add more seafood to their diets without fear of illness or even death? Seafood-caused health problems are not widespread, but consumers are at risk from seafood-borne microbes and toxins - with consequences that can range from mild enteritis to fatal illness. At a time when legislators and consumer groups are seeking a sound regulatory approach, "Seafood Safety" presents a comprehensive set of practical recommendations for ensuring the safety of the seafood supply. This volume presents the first-ever overview of the field, covering seafood consumption patterns, where and how seafood contamination occurs, and the effectiveness of regulation. A wealth of technical information is presented on the sources of contamination - microbes, natural toxins, and chemical pollutants - and their effects on human health. The volume evaluates methods used for risk assessment and inspection sampling.
