Overview

The provision of safe food to airline passengers is now a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. As the aviation industry continues to grow year on year, so do passenger food service expectations, with increasing demand for wider choice and greater quality. 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.
