Table 2. Guidelines for microbiological risk assessment [47] highly relevant for this study.
Guideline # | Description |
---|---|
1 | Microbiological Risk Assessment should be soundly based upon science. |
5 | The conduct of a Microbiological Risk Assessment should be transparent. |
9 | A Microbiological Risk Assessment should explicitly consider the dynamics of microbiological growth, survival, and death in foods and the complexity of the interaction (including sequelae) between human and agent following consumption as well as the potential for further spread. |
10 | Wherever possible, Risk Estimates should be reassessed over time by comparison with independent human illness data. |
11 | A Microbiological Risk Assessment may need reevaluation, as new relevant information becomes available. |
