Food Safety in China
Science, Technology, Management & Regulation
(English Language Version)
Chapter 16: Food Fraud
by Yongning Wu, Hong Miao, Bing Shao, Jing Zhang, John W. Spink and Douglas C. Moyer
From the publisher’s website:
From contaminated infant formula to a spate of all too familiar headlines in recent years, food safety has emerged as one of the harsher realities behind China’s economic miracle. Tainted beef, horse meat and dioxin outbreaks in the western world have also put food safety in the global spotlight.
Food Safety in China: Science, Technology, Management and Regulation presents a comprehensive overview of the history and current state of food safety in China, along with emerging regulatory trends and the likely future needs of the country. Although the focus is on China, global perspectives are presented in the chapters and 33 of the 99 authors are from outside of China.
Timely and illuminating, this book offers invaluable insights into our understanding of a critical link in the increasingly globalized complex food supply chain of today’s world.
