In this study, transfer of L. monocytogenes from one contact surface to another for Ready-to-Eat deli meats with a delicatessen or restaurant type slicer was investigated. The objectives were to achieve the surface transfer model development and to predict the cross-contamination for the slicing operation. Two cross-contamination routes were studied for model development: (1) L. monocytogenes–contaminated blade to ham (Case I), and (2) L. monocytogenes–contaminated ham to blade and then to uncontaminated ham (Case II).

The purpose of the report presented here is to provide an overview and summary of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) risk assessment for Salmonella in egg products. As part of the process for developing risk-based performance standards for egg product processing, FSIS undertook a quantitative microbial risk assessment for Salmonella spp. in pasteurized egg products. The assessment was designed to assist risk managers in evaluating egg handling and pasteurization performance standards for reducing the likelihood of Salmonella in pasteurized egg products and the subsequent risk to human health.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how university researchers can contribute to food safety risk assessments including through (1) risk assessment (including farm-to-table) development and refinement, (2) data collection to fill knowledge gaps that prevent development of risk assessments, and (3) development of new methodological techniques. This paper will specifically use the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes as a model to describe the role of university researchers in food safety risk assessments at the preharvest, food processing, and retail and consumer levels.

A quantitative risk assessment was conducted in 2007 for the consumption of beef burgers containing Shiga toxin-producing Eschericha coli by children under the age of 16 in France. Bibliographical data and missing consumption data was obtained to perform the risk assessment, and a mathematical model was developed for an approximate calculation of the average probability of developing a haemolytic uraemic syndrome depending on the pathogen concentration in frozen meet, following the consumption at home of a beef burger bought frozen from the French food industry. This is a summary of the completed risk assessment, which can be found at the French Food Safety Agency website. The original risk assessment is in French.

This document served as a background paper for the Joint FAO/WHO Consultation held in Kiel, Germany on March 18-22, 2002. It discusses FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN)'s approach to microbial risk assessment, outlines CFSAN's measures to involve interested parties in the risk assessment process, and discusses lessons learned by CFSAN regarding "(1) commissioning a risk assessment, (2) interaction between risk managers and risk assessors during the conduct of a risk assessment, (3) acquiring input from interested parties, (4) peer review, and (5) reporting the results"

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service conducts food safety risk assessments related to chemical and microbiological hazards in meat, poultry, and egg products. These risk assessments are used to evaluate intervention strategies to reduce foodborne risks and to guide, support, and enhance the Agency's overall decision-making process, risk-management policies, outreach efforts, data collection initiatives, and research priorities. This page links to reports and models, as well as responses to peer review and public comments for FSIS risk assessments. Pathogen-commodity combinations addressed include BSE in cattle, E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, Salmonella spp. in egg products, and Salmonella Enteritidis in shell eggs
