The main approaches to the investigation of food microbiology in
the laboratory are expertly presented in this, the third edition of
the highly practical and well-established manual. The new edition
has been thoroughly revised and updated to take account of the
latest legislation and technological advances in food microbiology,
and offers a step-by-step guide to the practical microbiological
examination of food in relation to public health problems. It
provides ‘tried and tested’ standardized procedures for
official control laboratories and those wishing to provide a
competitive and reliable food examination service.
The Editors are well respected, both nationally and
internationally, with over 20 years of experience in the field of
public health microbiology, and have been involved in the
development of food testing methods and microbiological
criteria.
The Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) has provided
microbiological advice and scientific expertise in the examination
of food samples for more than half a century.
