Where this comes from

Abstract

Foodborne disease is increasing in industrialised countries for complex reasons, including changes in the aetiological agents, the population at risk and food production and processing. It is unlikely ever to be eliminated, but the risk can be minimised. A preventive, rather than reactive, approach to ensuring food safety from "paddock to plate" is proposed for Australia, bringing it in line with many of its trading partners.
