Goals
The goals identified for Foodrisk.org to date include: consolidating risk analysis research data and methodology from public and proprietary sources, assisting coordination of research activities, identifying gaps in needed research, and assisting the development of food safety risk assessment models. While initial emphasis was on microbial pathogens and their toxins, this is being expanded to other chemicals and toxins.
