Summary

The paper gives an example of the way the risk assessment approach may be used in practice. The proposed system seeks to provide information on the exposure of consumers to microbial pathogens when the food is consumed. It reflects the successful application of good manufacturing practices and HACCP principles on the part of the producer as well as the effect of consumer handling of the product, on the exposure rate. A practical example is presented concerning the risk assessment of Bacillus cereus in pasteurized milk.
