    Study Notes

    Microbiological Risk Management (MRM) Definition

    • MRM is a process distinct from risk assessment that involves weighing policy choices and selecting appropriate preventative and control alternatives.
    • MRM prioritizes consumer health protection and promotes fair trade practices.

    Codex Alimentarius Risk Analysis Framework

    • The framework is divided into three components: Risk assessment, Risk management, and Risk communication.
    • Risk assessment involves examining the scientific data related to the risk.
    • Risk management focuses on defining and implementing policies to address the identified risks.
    • Risk communication facilitates the exchange of information about the risks and management strategies.

    MRM Process

    • The MRM process consists of four stages: Preliminary Activities, Options Identification and Selection, Implementation, and Monitoring and Review.
    • Preliminary activities encompass initial risk assessment, data collection, and hazard identification.
    • Options identification and selection involve identifying and evaluating various MRM strategies and selecting the most appropriate options.
    • Implementation involves putting selected MRM options into practice.
    • Monitoring and review involve regularly evaluating the effectiveness of implemented MRM strategies.

    MRM Principles

    • Protection of human health is the primary objective of MRM.
    • The whole food chain should be considered in MRM, from production to consumption.
    • MRM should follow a structured approach with clearly defined stages.
    • MRM processes should be transparent, consistent, and documented.
    • Consultation with interested parties is crucial for effective MRM.
    • Risk managers should ensure effective interaction with risk assessors to incorporate scientific expertise.
    • Regional differences in hazards and mitigation options should be considered.
    • MRM decisions are subject to ongoing monitoring and review for continuous improvement.
