Food safety for the 1990s.
The epidemiology of foodborne disease has evolved as a result of changes in the types and sources of food consumed, new methods of food production, the emergence of new infectious agents, and new trends involving known infectious agents. The results of foodborne disease surveillance at the Minnesota Department of Health demonstrate the importance of these factors and suggest that foodborne disease problems are actually much more widespread than previously acknowledged. The public health agenda for the 1990s must include a comprehensive review of food safety.
