"""It contains such a vast amount of technical material that even a specialist would probably be able to critique only two or three chapters in detail. Nonetheless, it is an important work, and I believe that everyone involved in food safety should be familiar with it. This work makes every effort to be comprehensive. As a result, only a comparatively small part of it relates directly to fresh produce, but the whole volume contains insights in various areas that are of direct value. Or, to put it in the book’s terms: “Using a risk-based evaluation strategy increases the ability to use alternative approaches and new technologies to inform risk assessment, better characterize risk, and improve management decisions. These new, scientifically more robust methods are more human relevant and—a humanitarian benefit— “also frequently decrease the number of animals needed to determine human risk (1071). All of this may seem terribly abstract, but it will have a huge impact on which agrichemicals and GMO crops will be used in the future and how."" --Richard Smoley, Blue Book Services, Inc."
