Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Food safety has its own language. Understanding that language is essential for applying the science, standards, regulations, and systems that protect the food supply.The Comprehensive Dictionary of Food Safety: Terminology, Standards, and Science is a multidisciplinary professional reference designed to bring the terminology of modern food safety together in one accessible resource.Covering concepts from fundamental food microbiology and hazard control to contemporary food safety management systems, regulation, risk analysis, auditing, certification, and emerging technologies, the Dictionary helps readers understand not only what a term means, but how it fits within the wider food safety system.The book addresses terminology associated with areas including: - Food microbiology, pathogens, spoilage, and microbial control- HACCP, hazard analysis, validation, verification, and risk-based control- Food safety management systems and prerequisite programmes- ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, GFSI-related certification systems, and auditing- Food allergens and allergen risk management- Chemical contaminants, residues, toxins, and physical hazards- Cleaning, sanitation, hygienic design, and environmental monitoring- Traceability, recall, corrective action, and incident management- Food fraud, food defence, authenticity, and supply-chain controls- Food law, regulatory terminology, Codex Alimentarius, and international frameworks- Predictive microbiology, quantitative risk concepts, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and emerging food safety challengesEntries are supported by identified sources and interconnected through cross-references, allowing the reader to move from individual definitions to related concepts and develop a broader understanding of the discipline.Written for food safety and quality professionals, auditors, consultants, regulators, academics, trainers, students, food manufacturers, and operations professionals, this Dictionary is intended for both everyday consultation and deeper professional study.Whether you are interpreting a technical requirement, preparing for an audit, developing a food safety programme, studying the science behind a control measure, or simply encountering an unfamiliar term, The Comprehensive Dictionary of Food Safety provides a structured reference point for navigating the increasingly complex language of food safety.First Edition, 2026Charles A.
