<p>Ensuring Global Food Safety: Exploring Global Harmonization, 2^nd edition</p> <p>Explores the harmonization of science-based food safety regulations to ensure safe and healthy food for all consumers.</p> <b> <p>Edited by Aleksandra Martinovic</p></b> <p>Associate Professor, Faculty of Food Technology, Food Safety and Ecology, ?University of Donja Gorica, Montenegro</p> <b> <p>Edited by Sangsuk Oh</p></b> <p>Ewha Women’s University, Seoul, South Korea</p> <b> <p>Edited by Huub Lelieveld</p></b> <p>Global Harmonization Initiative</p> <p>Since the publication of the first edition of <b><i><i>Ensuring Global Food Safety</i></i></b>, progress has been made to eliminate the regulatory barriers that contribute to the loss and waste of food due to regulatory differences that fail to differentiate between risk-benefit and risk-avoidance. The issue is far from fully solved, however, and as the world looks for ways to ensure food for its rapidly growing population, <b><i><i>Ensuring Global Food Safety</i></i></b> once more examines the policies and practices of food law which remain top contributors to food waste.</p> <p>This fully revised and updated edition offers a rational and multi-faceted approach to the science-based issue of "what is safe for consumption?" and how creating a globally acceptable framework of microbiological, toxicological, and nutritional standards can contribute to the alleviation of hunger and food insecurity in the world. Currently many laws and regulations are such that healthy food is destroyed based on scientifically incorrect information upon which laws and regulations are based. <b><i><i>Ensuring Global Food Safety</i></i></b> illuminates the issue and offers guidelines for moving toward a scientifically sound approach to food safety regulation that can also improve food security without putting consumers at risk.</p> <ul> <p> <li>Presents the progress and current status of regulatory harmonization for food standards</li> <p> <li>Provides a science-based foundation for global regulatory consensus</li> <p> <li>Approaches the challenge from a risk-benefit approach while not ignoring need for safety assurance</li> <p> <li>Includes global perspectives from governmental, academic and industry experts</li> </p></p></p></p></ul> <b> <p>Related Elsevier Titles</p> <ul></ul></b> <p> <li>Boadu, <b><i><i>Agricultural Law and Economics in Sub-Saharan Africa</i></i></b>, May 2016, 9780128017715</li> <p> <li>Prakash et al, <b><i><i>Regulating Safety of Traditional and Ethnic Foods</i></i></b>, November 2015, 9780128006054</li> <p> <li>Halabi, <b><i><i>Food and Drug Regulation in an Era of Globalized Markets</i></i></b>, September 2015, 9780128023112</li> <p> <li>Zhou & Babu, <b><i><i>Knowledge Driven Development: Private Extension and Global Lessons</i></i></b>, June 2015, 9780128022313</li><ul> </ul></p></p></p></p>
