    Solution

    JEMRA - JEMRA aims to develop and optimise the utility of Microbiological Risk Assessment (MRA) as a tool to inform actions and decisions aimed at improving food safety and to make it equally available to both developing and developed countries   ·         Risk assessment is one of the components of risk analysis - which can be defined as being an overall strategy for addressing risk - that also includes risk management and risk communication. ·         The importance of an overlap between these three elements (risk assessment, risk management and risk communication) is well recognized, but some functional separation is also necessary. ·         The risk assessment process is a means of providing an estimate of the probability and severity of illness attributable to a particular pathogen-commodity combination. ·         The four-step process ü  hazard identification, ü  hazard characterization, ü  exposure assessment, and ü  risk characterization enables this to be carried out in a systematic manner, but the extent to which the steps are carried out will be dependent on the scope of the risk assessment ·         The carrying out of an MRA, particularly quantitative MRA, is recognized as a resource-intensive task requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
