Risk Assessment and Recommendations

PathOrganic is aimed at performing a quantitative microbial risk assessment for organically grown horticultural products. Based on a transnational survey on organic plant produce, "risk crops" and "risk factors" will be identified and critical control points will be determined. This information together with experimental findings will merge in a quantitative risk assessment model for contamination of a selected risk plant with enteric bacteria. Finally, recommendations for production procedures which secure the safety of organically grown vegetables will be formulated, which successively will be dispersed through a brochure and via a workshop with stakeholders.
