International risk assessments<br />
• FAO/WHO (2004) - Risk assessment of Listeria<br />
monocytogenes in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods was developed to<br />
answer three specific questions:<br />
1. Estimate <strong>the</strong> risk of illness in food when <strong>the</strong> number of<br />
organisms ranges from ND - 1000 cfu/g, or does not exceed<br />
specified levels at <strong>the</strong> point of consumption<br />
2. Estimate <strong>the</strong> risk of illness in different susceptible population<br />
groups (elderly, infants, pregnant women <strong>and</strong><br />
immunocompromised patients) relative to <strong>the</strong> general<br />
population<br />
3. Estimate <strong>the</strong> risk of illness in foods that support its growth <strong>and</strong><br />
foods that do not support its growth at specific storage <strong>and</strong><br />
shelf-life conditions.
