	Data Gaps Working Group, Risk Assessment Consortium	Data Gaps for Selected Microbial Risk Assessments This document contains lists of data gaps identified in published microbial risk assessments by the US Food & Drug Administration, US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety & Inspection Service, and the World Health Organization/Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Each data gap is identified by exposure assessment category, the type of information needed, and a brief explanation of the specific data gap. For discussion of needs and gaps in microbial risk assessment as a whole, see Fazil, Aamir, et al. 2005. Microbial risk assessment as a foundation for informed decision-making: a needs, gaps and opportunities assessment (NGOA) for microbial risk assessment in food and water. Available here.

	Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration	Processing Parameters Needed to Control Pathogens in Cold Smoked Fish This report discusses hazards derived from the consumption of cold-smoked fish. It describes pathogens that might be found in cold-smoked fish products, including Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum type E, biogenic amines, and parasites. It discusses processing parameters that contribute to pathogen growth and options for minimizing the presence of foodborne pathogens in smoked fish products. The report also discusses the safety of fish harvesting and handling practices and the influence of packaging options on pathogen growth and survival.
