Introduction to Biofilms in the Food Industry
Chapter
Abstract
Of major importance in food processing is the freedom of microbial (spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms) and foreign body contamination in the finished product. Such contamination may lead to product recalls with their associated adverse publicity resulting in loss of customers, sales and profits. If regulatory requirements have been infringed, fines, sanctions or ultimately site closure or loss of export licence may ensue.
