| Food Alert!: The Ultimate Sourcebook for Food Safety, by Morton Satin, is a very useful reference on food safety, in and out of the home. Here are one reviewers comments on the book: "This is an excellent book!

Not only is it a 'Who's Who' of all the causes of food poisoning, but it also a manual on how to avoid the experience.
