How Unsafe Is Our Food?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, one might expect the food we eat to be safe and free of deadly bacteria and other organisms that might make us sick, but the truth is that there is very little oversight of our food and its delivery, and that foodborne illnesses are at their highest levels in years. Here, Charles Duncan takes us on a tour of the food industry and its regulations, reveals the dangers, suggests solutions, and encourages consumers to make better decisions and demand better safety.
