On May 30, ‘INTOXICADAS’ was published, a book that explores the most significant food poisoning crises faced by Spain in recent decades. The author, Isidre Ferran Allué, a veterinarian with over thirty years of experience in the field of inspection and health control, compiles six critical episodes in this work. Among them is the 1980s rapeseed oil scandal, which affected more than 20,000 people, as well as the recent case of salmonella contamination in baby formula, which impacted over 200 infants.
Allué addresses each event with a rigorous and sensitive approach, integrating testimonies, unpublished documents, and a critical analysis of both the mistakes and successes in managing these crises. In his narrative, he emphasizes the importance of remembering these events as part of a collective effort to improve food safety. “It’s not just a chronicle of events; it’s a tribute to the victims and a warning about the need to protect what we put on the table,” the author states.
The book also includes other notable episodes, such as the illegal use of clenbuterol in livestock, liver poisoning in 1992, and the E. coli outbreak in 2000, which affected 182 people. Throughout its pages, Allué highlights that each of these incidents carries valuable lessons that should not be ignored.
‘INTOXICADAS’ is available in both paperback and digital formats, with a total of 208 pages. Isidre Ferran Allué, born in Barcelona in 1962, co-founded the Association of Veterinarians and Hygienists of Catalonia and is a strong advocate for food safety, a commitment he reinforces through his blog, TransparenciaAlimentaria.
With this release, Allué aims not only to inform the public but also to raise awareness about the crucial importance of food safety and the attention that must be paid to the risks that may be present in what we consume.
