Purpose (what is intendedto be achieved) • To extend beyond the establishment and application of MC from GHP-based and HACCP-based (particularly lot acceptance testing) to operationalize a PO with a microbiological criterion MC for a risk-based approach. • In terms of a practical approach, the user will identify a PO at a specific point in a food processing system (food chain) and determine if that PO is practical in terms of setting a microbiological criterion (MC) with its accompanying sampling plan.

Risk Assessment • To enable a risk-based approach for the articulation of a PO, a risk assessment is necessary to provide the link between the PO and the level of risk to the consumer at the end of the food chain. • E.g., The WHO/FAO published an assessment of risk of Salmonella in eggs and broiler chickens • The nature of the link between formal risk assessment processes and the ALOP concept is still being conceptualized.
