Now more than ever, producing safe foods is of paramount importance for public safety. As the food industry strives to balance methods for efficient food production with overall safety, new research must be analyzed to quickly incorporate safe standards. This book reviews the wealth of research on assessing and managing the risks from pesticide, veterinary, and other chemical residues in food. Beginning with an introductory chapter on the key issues in food toxicology, Part once covers the assessment and management of risks. Chapters focus on genetic susceptibility, dietary carcinogens, good agricultural practice and HACCP systems, and targeted and rapid methods for analyzing residues in food. Parts two and three look at veterinary residues, covering their safety, toxicology, and detection and examine pesticides. In the final part, chapters summarize a wide range of other chemical residues in food.
