Bad Bug Book – US FDA – Food Safety

The Bad Bug Book from the FDA is a handbook that provides basic facts regarding bugs like salmonella, E.coli, shellfish toxins, mushroom toxins, prions and more. It brings together in one place information from the Food & Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service, and the National Institutes of Health. Wording tends to be a bit on the sophisticated side – as you can tell from its subtitle Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins. Reviewed 2022; 292 pages.
