Risk Assessments (for All Hazards and Beef)

The following self-described risk assessments can serve as useful examples of the range of the application of the risk assessment process worldwide. Not all of these risk assessments follow the guidelines of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, nor does their presence here indicate endorsement by the Food Safety Risk Analysis Clearinghouse.

This report describes an E. coli O157:H7 risk-based verification sampling program developed by FSIS. The program provides comprehensive verification of domestic ground beef servings and allocates more samples to establishments with a higher risk of causing E. coli O157:H7 illness. The objectives of the program were to increase the proportion of FSIS samples that were more likely to produce product contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, to allocate FSIS resources more efficiently by verifying a greater portion of the U.S. trim and ground beef supply with the same number of samples as previous, and to verify all samples at a reasonable frequency. Included in the report are the Executive Summary and the Response to Peer Review Comments.

A quantitative risk assessment was conducted in 2007 for the consumption of beef burgers containing Shiga toxin-producing Eschericha coli by children under the age of 16 in France. Bibliographical data and missing consumption data was obtained to perform the risk assessment, and a mathematical model was developed for an approximate calculation of the average probability of developing a haemolytic uraemic syndrome depending on the pathogen concentration in frozen meet, following the consumption at home of a beef burger bought frozen from the French food industry. This is a summary of the completed risk assessment, which can be found at the French Food Safety Agency website. The original risk assessment is in French.

In view of the results from experimental studies of the distribution of BSE infectivity relative to the period post exposure in cattle, the panel BIOHAZ considers its earlier opinion of 28 April 2005 still valid, which concluded that the likely detectable infectivity in the CNS appears at about 3/4 of the incubation time.

This report is a collection of pre-harvest microbial risk assessments. Models for all the major food-animal production types, including pigs, beef and dairy cattle, and broilers, have been included. The objectives of the pre-harvest models are to integrate in a food-chain risk assessment, estimate the risk of human infection through exposure to animals or animal products, and identify intervention strategies at the farm level. Appendices include data sheets for Salmonella, Enterococcus faecium, VTEC O157, Campylobacter, BSE, Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis, and low and high pathogenic avian influenza viruses.

Quantitative risk assessment using the simulation model developed by the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis (HCRA) to evaluate the risk of BSE spreading among cattle in the United States, and the potential for humans to be exposed to contaminated tissues. The model simulates the response of the U.S. agricultural system for 20 years following the import of BSE-infected cattle. Predictive variables include the number of additional new cases of BSE that develop, the amount of BSE infective agent potentially available in human food, and the epidemic's basic reproduction rate. Also included in the report:

The risk assessment described in this report models the occurrence of E. coli O157:H7 in cattle on the farm to the occurrence and extent of contaminated servings of cooked ground beef. The exposure assessment concludes that feedlot cattle (steers and heifers) have a higher prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 infection than culled breeding cattle (cows and bulls). The effects of storage, holding times, chilling, and cooking were included throughout the model to account for organism growth or decline. The Executive Summary is also included separately, here.
