In recent years, the concept of risk has become paramount in international food regulation, and industries are increasingly required to undertake product risk assessment, particularly in the export arena. This publication has been developed as a complete package on how to undertake risk assessment for use by seafood technologists, regulators and health professionals. It is designed in five parts to guide the user through the risk assessment process. This publication also includes a CD-ROM - the Resources Bank - which provides extensive additional information for the would-be risk assessor.
