  1. Risk Assessment Consortium 1st International Conference on Microbial Risk Assessment

  2. Microbial risk assessment has capturing the interest of both risk assessors, risk managers, and researchers worldwide

  3. A Rapidly Developing Field • 1995 FAO/WHO Expert Consultation: “Application of Risk Analysis to Food Standards Issues.” “It has not yet been determined whether a quantitative risk assessment approach is possible and appropriate for characterization of risk associated with foodborne bacterial pathogens”

  4. QRMA: Historical Perspective • Prior to 1995: Microbial food safety concerns considered too complex for formal quantitative risk assessment • 1994 - 1996: First “research” attempts to conduct microbial risk assessments published • 1998: First “formal” assessment conducted by a U.S. regulatory agency published

  5. QMRA: United States • Microbial risk assessments largely commissioned and conducted by regulatory agencies for developing new regulations • Salmonella Enteritidis: Egg and Egg Products • Listeria monocytogenes: Ready-to-eat foods • Vibrio parahaemolyticus: Oysters • Enterohemorrhagic Esherichia coli: Ground beef • Bovine spongiform encephalopathy • Campylobacter: Fluoroquinoline-resistance

  6. QMRA: International • FAO/WHO Expert Panels on Microbial Risk Assessment established • Listeria monocytogenes: Ready-to-eat foods • Salmonella Enteritidis: Eggs and egg products • Salmonella: Broilers • Vibrio: Shellfish and finfish • Campylobacter: Broilers

  7. Conference Goal • The advancement of the science and application of microbial food safety risk assessment techniques through the international exchange of knowledge and ideas

  8. WHO

  9. Special Thanks • FAO and WHO for helping the RAC provide 13 travel awards to participants from 11 developing countries

  10. Agenda Highlights • Cutting edge concurrent sessions • Ample opportunity for interaction • Breaks • Reception • Plenary sessions with outstanding keynote speakers
