The book demonstrates that food safety is a multidisciplinary
scientific discipline that is specifically designed to prevent
foodborne illness to consumers. It is generally assumed to be an
axiom by both nonprofessionals and professionals alike, that the
most developed countries, through their intricate and complex
standards, formal trainings and inspections, are always capable of
providing much safer food items and beverages to consumers as
opposed to the lesser developed countries and regions of the world.
Clearly, the available data regarding the morbidity and the
mortality in different areas of the world confirms that in
developing countries, the prevalence and the incidence of
presumptive foodborne illness is much greater. However, other
factors need to be taken into consideration in this overall
picture: First of all, one of the key issues in developing
countries appears to be the availability of safe drinking water, a
key element in any food safety strategy. Second, the availability
of healthcare facilities, care providers, and medicines in
different parts of the world makes the consequences of foodborne
illness much more important and life threatening in lesser
developed countries than in most developed countries. It would be
therefore ethnocentric and rather simplistic to state that the
margin of improvement in food safety is only directly proportional
to thelevel of development of the society or to the level of
complexity of any given national or international standard. Besides
standards and regulations, humans as a whole have evolved and
adapted different strategies to provide and to ensure food and
water safety according to their cultural and historical
backgrounds. Our goal is to discuss and to compare these strategies
in a cross-cultural and technical approach, according to the
realities of different socio-economic, ethnical and social
heritages.
