Guide to Food Safety and Quality during Transportation: Controls, Standards and Practices

Guide to Food Safety and Quality during Transportation, 2e, provides a solid foundation outlining logistics and delivery control solutions to protect the food transportation industry. Since its first publication, the U.S. FDA has finalized a number of Food Safety Modernization Act rules designed to improve the protection of the public from adulterants known to cause illness and death. Food shippers, carriers and receivers throughout the world are impacted as import controls have tightened and all modes of transportation are impacted. This book will provide the information to comply with the Act's requirements and help food transporters with the planning mechanisms to achieve food safety in the food supply chain, as well as government compliance. Filled with legal, liability and practical solutions, food transporters and buyers will have a solid foundation that enables them to structure company-wide business practices as part of their overall food safety and quality agendas.
