Risk Management Strategies: Monitoring and Surveillance the third volume in the series Food Safety Assurance and Veterinary Public Health, has as its objective the fostering of a collaborative approach, the encouragement of research and the application of preventive measures aimed at the production and protection of safe, quality food products for the well being of consumers and for the future of the food industry.
