The microorganisms and/or their toxins present in, or condition of, food with the potential to cause an adverse health effect (adapted from Hazard definition from FAO/WHO, 2016).

Is founded on the relationship between observed data and approximate representations of the real systems that generated that data.

A combination of the process model and the consumption model that results in the exposure assessment.

FSK-ML is a specification for knowledge exchange format that can be used to encode models in the domain of food safety risk assessment.

Scenarios can be constructed to predict the range of possible exposures. The scenarios might reflect effects of processing, such as hygienic design, cleaning and disinfection,...

The process of weighing policy alternatives in the light of the results of risk assessment and, if required, selecting and implementing appropriate control options, including...

Is the population or sub-population of interest when performing a risk assessment, for example: general population, pregnant or lactating women, seniors, infants.

The process of gathering data. Different types of data can be collected (microbial concentrations, daily consumption, etc.). The collected data should be fit for purpose,...

Model for calculating a measure for assessing the health impact of a specific hazard in a population group: e.g. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) or cost per illness.

Model for calculating a measure for assessing the health impact of a specific hazard in a population group: e.g. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) or cost per illness.

The qualitative and/or quantitative estimation, including attendant uncertainties, of the probability of occurrence and severity of known or potential adverse health effects in...

Procedure that aims to assess the performance of fitted models and to determine if they can be used to aid decision-making. The validation process might use several hundred of...

The complete set of metadata concepts generated as part of the RAKIP project that allows annotating with sufficient detail any type of model or data in the QMRA or PM modelling...

A process by a chart or other image is created as a visual representation of the transformed data.

A process by a chart or other image is created as a visual representation of the transformed data.

The qualitative and/or quantitative estimation, including attendant uncertainties, of the probability of occurrence and severity of known or potential adverse health effects in...

A process by which the data is manipulated (i.e. data set is cleaned or rearranged) to fit the purpose of the model.

Knowledge derived from experimental/observational data.

The food product for which the model or data apply.

Symbolic representation of observable properties of the world.
