1 Risk Assessment Consortium 1 st International Conference on Microbial Risk Assessment

2 Microbial risk assessment has capturing the interest of both risk assessors, risk managers, and researchers worldwide

3 A Rapidly Developing Field 1995 FAO/WHO Expert Consultation: “Application of Risk Analysis to Food Standards Issues.” “It has not yet been determined whether a quantitative risk assessment approach is possible and appropriate for characterization of risk associated with foodborne bacterial pathogens”

4 QRMA: Historical Perspective Prior to 1995: Prior to 1995: Microbial food safety concerns considered too complex for formal quantitative risk assessment 1994 - 1996: 1994 - 1996: First “research” attempts to conduct microbial risk assessments published 1998: 1998: First “formal” assessment conducted by a U.S. regulatory agency published

5 QMRA: United States Microbial risk assessments largely commissioned and conducted by regulatory agencies for developing new regulations Salmonella Enteritidis: Salmonella Enteritidis: Egg and Egg Products Listeria monocytogenes: Listeria monocytogenes: Ready-to-eat foods Vibrio parahaemolyticus: Vibrio parahaemolyticus: Oysters Enterohemorrhagic Esherichia coli: Enterohemorrhagic Esherichia coli: Ground beef Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Campylobacter: Campylobacter: Fluoroquinoline-resistance

6 QMRA: International FAO/WHO Expert Panels on Microbial Risk Assessment established Listeria monocytogenes: Listeria monocytogenes: Ready-to-eat foods Salmonella Enteritidis: Salmonella Enteritidis: Eggs and egg products Salmonella: Salmonella: Broilers Vibrio: Vibrio: Shellfish and finfish Campylobacter: Campylobacter: Broilers
