Because to improve food safety we must realize that it's more than just food science; it's the behavioral sciences too In fact simply put food safety equals behavior This is the fundamental principle of this book If you are trying to improve the food safety performance of a retail or food service establishment an organization with thousands of employees or a local community what you are really trying to do is change people's behavior The ability to influence human behavior is well documented in the behavioral and social sciences However significant contributions to the scientific literature in the field of food safety are noticeably absent This book will help advance the science by being the first significant collection of 50 proven behavioral science techniques and be the first to show how these techniques can be applied to enhance employee compliance with desired food safety behaviors and make food safety the social norm in any organization"
