Quant'HACCP

Microbiological quantitative risk assessment as a support to establish control measures based on food safety objectives

 

 

 

 

• HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) has been so far applied empirically.
• This project intends to move it from a mostly “hazard based” approach to a “risk-based“ quantitative modelling approach that could be used by the food business operators.
• The methodology of quantitative risk assessment (QRA) will be applied to the optimisation of control measures for microbiological hazards.
• The starting point of the modelling will be the food safety objectives and the performance objectives, new concepts developed by the Codex Alimentarius.
• Presently, these concepts have only been applied to simplistic cases. A stochastic Bayesian modelling will be used.
• Two processes will be studied, taking into account uncertainty and variability, as well as sampling issues.
• A generic methodology will be inferred, and validated through application to three other processes, based on quantitative risk assessments presently in progress.
