I am a professional food microbiologist and I'm creating this blog to help ordinary folk and food manufacturers to understand food safety so that we can reduce the incidence of food mediated illness. I would like it to become a resource for teachers in schools.
I also want to dispell some of the myths about food safety. If readers send comments or questions, I'll try to incorporate them into future postings.
Obviously, some of the posts will be my own opinions, but I'll try to keep these comments based firmly in science.
I hope you find the site useful and perhaps even thought-provoking.
Regards
