Present Knowledge in Food Safety: A Risk-Based Approach Through The Food Chain presents exposure-led risk assessment and management of changes in chemical, pathogenic microbiological and physical (radioactivity) contamination of 'food' at all key stages of production from farm to consumption. Within this framework, the book takes a holistic approach to food safety and its regulation, and to the identification of hazard control points. This is a single volume resource which introduces scientific advances to improve the reliability, predictability, and relevance of food safety assessments for the protection of public health. This includes mechanistic (ADMET) studies, e.g. based on developments in the pharmaceutical industry, validation of in vitro / in silico / -omics methods and probabilistic approaches to exposure analysis including uncertainty and aggregate exposure analysis for the general population and vulnerable sub-groups.The book is, therefore, aimed at a diverse audience, including graduate and post-graduate students in food science, toxicology, microbiology, medicine, public health, and related fields. The audience will also include government agencies, industrial scientists, and policy makers involved in food risk analysis.
