1. Based on Approach
•Qualitative Risk Analysis
•Uses descriptive scales (e.g.,
low, medium, high)
•Relies on expert judgment,
experience, and scenarios
•Useful when data is limited
•Quantitative Risk Analysis
•Uses numerical values,
probabilities, and statistical
models
•Involves data analysis,
simulations (e.g., Monte Carlo),
and calculations
•Provides more precise estimates
of risk
risk assessment
Objective of risk assessment
•Assess and discuss the risk of an undesirable event happen
and the possible measures to attenuate it
•Give a scientific, structured and logical approach to the
process
•Reduce the risk (possible elimination or mitigation
•Document the process/ Transparency

2.1 Hazard identification and prioritisation
•Hazard identification is a way to identify biological, chemical and physical agents
capable of causing adverse health effects that may be present in a particular food
or group of foods. Potential microbial hazards include bacteria and their toxins,
viruses and parasites.
•Typical components of hazard identification are the prevalence of pathogenic
microorganisms, the sources of pathogens, transmission routes, the survival rate of
pathogens in foods, the adverse health outcomes resulting from infection and the
population burden of disease (Pérez-Rodríguez et al., 2014; Possas et al., 2020).
Parasitic Hazards
•Fasciola gigantica / Fasciola spp. (cattle, buffalo)
•Sarcocystis spp. (S. heydorni, S. cruzi) in cattle/buffalo
•Gnathostoma spinigerum (edible frogs; also detected in fish)
23
Parasitic Hazards
Pig and pork parasites:
•Taenia spp. (T. solium)
•Trichinella spp.
•Blastocystis spp.
•Ascaris spp.
•Entamoeba spp.
•Balantidium coli
•Trichuris suis
•Oesophagostomum spp.
•Metastrongylus spp.
•Gnathostoma doloresi
•Capillaria spp.
•Ascarops spp.
Fish and fishery product parasites:
•Opisthorchis viverrini
•Haplorchis yokogawai
•Haplorchis pumilio
•Pygidiopsis cambodiensis n. sp.
•Stellantchasmus falcatus
•Procerovum sp.
•Centrocestus formosanus
•Echinostoma mekongi
•Angiostrongylus cantonensis
24
Biotoxins Identified
•Found in fish and crab samples from lakes, seashores, and wet
markets in Phnom Penh, Kandal, Kratie, and Sihanoukville.
•Detection methods: High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
(HPLC) and Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
25
2.2. Hazard Characterisation
•Once a hazard/pathogen has been identified, information on the basic characteristics of the hazard is gathered
(Crawley & Tyler, 2003).
•Hazard characterisation involves qualitative and/or quantitative evaluation of the nature of the adverse effects
associated with biological agents that may be present in food (CAC/GL-30, 1999; Perez-Rodriguez, 2020).
• This aids in subsequent steps of the assessment, such as deciding on the method for identifying the pathogen.
•The characteristics of a hazard will vary depending on the type of microorganism and will comprise a combination
of genotypic and phenotypic characteristics (Lammerding & Fazil, 2000; Possas et al., 2020).
• For bacterial foodborne pathogens, the general pathogen characteristics of interest may include methods for
detecting microorganisms that have a negative effect on food and human health (CAC/GL-30, 1999).
2.3. Exposure assessment
•Exposure assessment aims to study the primary critical step/activities/ behaviour
that could cause bacteria to cross-contaminate along the chain from farm to fork
(CAC/GL-30, 1999).
•Use of models in exposure assessments for QMRA is sometimes complex, due to
the aim to evaluate public health status regarding a specific biological hazard in a
food product (Oscar, 2021b).
•Experiments are usually designed to assess response at relatively high doses
(microbial detection limit and a limited number of experimental units), and a
minor frequency of infection or illness cannot be precisely assessed.
•Some pathogens can infect humans exposed to only a single dose (Bernstein et al.,
2020; Oscar, 2004, 2021b).
Example of Exposure Assessment

•Human exposure pathways for
Salmonella, estimates the quantities
(dose) consumed.
•The frequency of meat consumption,
the quantity of salad consumed

2.4. Risk characterisation
•Risk characterisation, the final step of QMRA, is the biological foundation for dose-response
models and covers major components of the disease process: exposure, infection, illness and
consequences (recovery, sequelae or death) (CAC/GL-30, 1999).
•The risk outcome results from the interactions between the pathogen, the host and the food matrix,
giving the daily incidence to annual incidence of disease due to the pathogen under study (Perez-
Rodriguez, 2020).
•Mathematically, there is always a non-zero probability of infection or illness when a host is
exposed to an infectious pathogenic organism (CAC/GL-30, 1999; Wagner & Hensel, 2011; WHO,
•2009).
•Stochastic risk assessment involves a variety of calculations in modelling the probability of illness
using different parameters, including the concentration of the hazard, frequency and amount of
ingestion, probability of contamination, storage temperature and the time until consumption
(Makita et al., 2019).
