My new book is out now

Is the next food crisis always just around the corner — or are we being swept up in headlines
and political reaction?
Most of us rely on the food system every day — yet few utterly understand how it works. In
A Food Crisis? I draw on over 45 years’ experience across food science, regulation, and enforcement to explain:
- What’s really happening behind food safety headlines
- How the system actually protects consumers
- Where common beliefs don’t fully match the evidence
- Why some food debates are more complex than they appear.
This is not a technical manual or a policy document. It is a clear, accessible guide for
everyday consumers — cutting through complexity to provide a more balanced
understanding of the food we eat.
