Overview
Microbiological risk assessment (MRA) is one of the most important recent developments in food safety management. It provides a structured way of identifying and assessing microbiological risks in food. Edited by two leading authorities, and with contributions by international experts in the field, this book provides detailed coverage of the key steps in MRA and how it can be used to improve food safety.
The book begins by placing MRA within the broader context of the evolution of international food safety standards. Part one introduces the key steps in MRA methodology. Part two then considers how MRA can be implemented in practice. It contains chapters on implementing the results of a microbiological risk assessment, the qualitative and quantitative tools available in carrying out an MRA, the relationship of MRA to the use of microbiological criteria and HACCP systems.
