A food taster is a person that takes food or drink to be served to someone else to confirm that it is safe to eat and does not contain toxin s or poison s. The person to whom the food is going to be served is usually an important person, like an emperor or monarch , or anyone that could possibly be under threat of assassination or harm. In ancient Rome , the duty was often given to a slave termed the praegustator . Food tasters have several functions The safety of the food may be determined by observing whether or not the food taster subsequently becomes ill. Note, however, that food tasting would not be effective against slow acting poisons that take a long time to show any visible symptom s. The food taster may also be responsible for the preparation and serving of food. The hope is that tasters will be diligent in preventing poison from being introduced into food, in order to safeguard their own lives. In the event that the target emperor, monarch, etc. should fall ill or die, the similar illness or death of the taster provides evidence of deliberate poisoning. In recent times, animals such as mice have been used to detect impurities in food to be consumed by humans, such as during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing , China . ref http news.bbc.co.uk 2 hi asia pacific 6153382.stm ref See also Assassination Food poisoning List of poisonings References reflist Job stub Category Food services occupations de Vorkoster fr Go teur ko nl Voorproever ja sh Degustator ... more details
