The book goal is to summarize the state of the art on the chemical safety issues currently concerning meat and poultry, and to discuss the current international legislation on the tools available for their control. In addition, there will be a discussion of both the substances that may be generated as a consequence of processing, and the tools that are available for their control. Finally, the controls for the detection of foreign proteins (e.g., whey proteins) in the final products will be also compiled.
