Mass catering
Ver/ Abrir
Resumo
With the increase in urbanization, industrialization and tourism, mass catering systems are becoming increasingly popular throughout the world. They provide a convenient and economical means of catering for large numbers of people. Traditional forms of catering have been associated with many outbreaks of food poisoning and other foodborne disease in the past. Mass catering operations, by reason of their scale and complexity, have the potential to produce even more disastrous consequences for health if the strictest principles of hygiene are not maintained. This book is intended for health officials who have little knowledge of commercial catering, and for food, trade and other officials and those with commercial interests who have little knowledge of public health. Its aim is to draw attention to the relationship between mass catering and public health, and to show where further information can be found. While many of the principles of hygiene, food safety and nutrition are common to all forms of catering, many systems of mass catering and situations in which mass catering is employed present their own peculiar problems. This book therefore starts by dealing with the general aspects of public health in relation to catering, planning, monitoring and training, and then goes on to deal with the specific problems of particular aspects of catering, such as travel catering, institutional catering and banqueting. A selected bibliography of useful reference books and papers for those who require more information about the subject appears at the end of most chapters.Citação
