What is Microbiological Risk Assessment?

چکیده
In the past decade, the Food Safety discipline has addressed the assessment of hazards in foods within the framework of Risk Analysis, a new science-based paradigm intended to guarantee human health protection contemplated by EU legislation (Reg.178/2002). The objectives of risk analysis are to estimate the risk to human health of a hazard associated with food consumption; and most importantly, to assess appropriate management strategies in the food chain capable of reducing the risks. Risk analysis represents a structured decision-making process with two closely connected components: risk management and risk assessment.
