The issue of risk assessment has become a key factor in international food regulation in recent years, and industries are increasingly required to undertake product risk assessment, particularly in the export arena. This publication contains detailed information on how to undertake risk assessment for use by seafood technologists, regulators and health professionals. It is divided into five sections covering the whole risk assessment process, and includes a 'resources bank' CD-ROM with additional information on the application of risk assessment techniques to the fisheries industry.
