Description
Summary:There is greatly increased activity in measures being taken to ensure the production of safe food. Several concepts, increasingly based on quantitative risk analysis, are being introduced and new terminology and definitions are being proposed. This article presents a general approach to the production of microbiologically safe food and a glossary of appropriate terms. Where possible, an attempt is made to provide a more adequate terminology, based on that used in risk analysis; background information is also presented.
