ABSTRACT

Since the terrorist attack in U.S. soils on September 11, 2001, this country is tightening its security in all fronts. Food and drinking water are considered major weak points susceptible to attack by terrorists. The government considers this as part of bioterrorism. This chapter is not meant to be a

comprehensive reference source on the topic. Rather, it is confined to one small aspect of protecting our food supply from enemy attack, preparedness and responses.
