• Sommario/riassunto: The provision of safe food to airline passengers is now a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide.

Often neglected and under-regulated, food safety should be of paramount importance amid this growth.In this much needed book Erica Sheward makes a compelling case for better management of food safety for all aspects of the aircraft food supply chain.
