"There are many occasions when those working in the food industry need to know the relevant legal requirements, however food legislation can often be complex and difficult to interpret." "The latest edition of this book is a quick and convenient place to determine the technical and legislative controls applicable to food and food processing." "The text is designed as a useful concise reference work for professionals and students working in the food industry or in enforcement or government. The Acts and Regulations which control and limit the operation of food processors are dealt with individually, and the major details of technical requirements are extracted. Full details are given of the source of the controls described to enable further investigation if required." "This new edition, which has been completely updated, includes the Food Safety Act 1990 and approximately 75 revised regulations covering such topics as tin, irradiation, flavourings, preservatives, food labelling, pesticides, olive oil, milk and temperature controls."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
