The information that currently exists in the public domain is highly theoretical and very generic; application to each industry sector can be difficult.

The purpose of this session is to a public-private view with speakers from the food industry, and academics to present on the current findings of an ILSI Europe expert group on industrial MRA in fresh produce. There is a lack of practical and applicable data and guidelines to perform Microbiological Risk Assessment (MRA). This expert group aims to provide easy-to-follow and practical MRA recommendations specific to fresh produce and aims to provide guidance on implementation of risk assessment strategies.
