Sponsored by Food & Drink Federation to mark a centenary but says very little about the Federation's history. Includes a narrative summary of main changes and continuities in food processing over a century but with little about industrial structure and such matters. Also has chapters re nutrition; science and technical developments - packaging, freezing, food component analysis; food quality and safety - legal framework, public confidence issues, etc F&DF traces origins to c1909 when established as Confectionery & Preserved Food Manufacturers' Federation. 1917 renamed Food Manufacturers' Federation. 1980s merged with Food & Drink Industries Council to form F&DF
