Review and Critique of a Developing Risk Assessment Critically examine the Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment for Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes in Leafy Green Vegetables Consumed at Salad Bars article from the Journal of Food Protection, and critically discuss all aspects of the risk assessment. https://jfoodprotection.org/doi/pdf/10.4315/0362-028X-73.2.274 This risk assessment was developed by researchers in food safety in the Netherlands and likely constitutes a “first pass” at interpreting risk models to decide whether policy changes are needed. Address the following questions with additional citations sufficient to justify your arguments/statements. Question 2: What aspects (formulas) in the model differ among the three pathogens? Why? Question 3: How did the authors deal with uncertainty and variability in developing their assessment? Did they directly deal with these problems? Question 4: Did the authors state the reasons for the assumptions underlying their model? Are there unstated assumptions that you can identify? Question 5: Briefly review @RISK? This is currently the most popular risk assessment tool. Why do you think that is? Question 6: If you could improve one aspect of this assessment, what would it be, and why? Full credit will be awarded based on the accuracy of your information, the specific details and sources you use in justifying your interpretation and the depth of your evaluation of the risk assessment and the underlying model.
