This course provided the necessary risk- and science-based tools to evaluate and mitigate the microbial and chemical risks in a food production chain-from the farm until consumption. Participants will be divided in small interdisciplinary groups to mimic a real risk analysis team and develop a real-case scenario (different for each group). The attendants will follow the risk analysis process as an integral part of a science-based decision-making (risk prioritization, risk assessment, risk management and risk communication) to estimate and manage the food safety risks. The attendants will apply different qualitative (hazard analysis, decision matrices) and quantitative (risk prioritization, modeling and web-based software) tools by using a computer. The participants will present the main outcomes from the analyses and will evaluate possible mitigation options to reduce the risk in a cost-effective way.
