"Examines a variety of regionally and culturally-based foods from around the world, their risks and benefits, and how regulatory steps may assist in establishing safe parameters for these foods without reducing their cultural or nutritive value. Many traditional foods provide excellent nutrition from sustainable resources and some have nutraceutical properties that make them not only a source of cultural and traditional value but also provide valuable options for addressinga growing need for food resources. There are varying standards and methods for processing and consuming traditional foods, however, it is important to understand the potential health risks, and how to ensure safe preparation and consumption of these foods." --back cover
