Summary

"Based upon extensive research, this book analyses typhoid outbreaks and their aftermath, looking at the roles of politicians, officials, health professionals, business interests, the media and the public. It also considers the difficult issue of weighing food safety against international trade and other business and economic interests; conflicts between government departments; rivalry between professionals; the effects upon and influence of victims and local communities; and the conduct of and responses to an official enquiry. Overall, the 1960s corned beef and typhoid episode offers generic lessons regarding food policy making, adding historical perspectives to contemporary debates."--BOOK JACKET.
