Risk assessment is a fundamental aspect of risk management in food safety. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has codified principles of risk assessment, there is a need to broaden understanding of the principles, and to teach practical data requirements and analysis procedures. To address these issues, the World Bank has commissioned learning modules on Food Chemical-Contaminant Risk Assessment under their Global Food Safety Partnership (GFSP). These modules have been written by experts in this field and have been explicitly designed to target the food safety risk assessors, to facilitate their general understanding of risk assessment and their detailed understanding of food chemical-contaminant risk assessment. The modules can contribute to the ability of the risk assessors to conduct risk assessments, and this skill is needed in the ASEAN region.

Risk Assessment Framework -Chemical and Microbiological in U Laval
Background
Recent food safety issues have resulted in adverse impacts on consumer confidence in the safety of agri-food production, and the food supply chain. The increasing use of the internet and social media has also led to rising demands from the public for greater transparency in the sharing and communication of information on food safety risks. Relevant authorities are encouraged to assess existing risk communication strategies being applied to food safety and to learn from regional and global best practices to strengthen the effectiveness of their strategies.
Risk communication is a very important component in the food safety risk analysis framework. The main objective of food safety risk communication is to increase understanding among various stakeholders regarding the rationale behind the decisions taken to assess hazards and manage food safety risks, and to help people make more informed judgments about the food safety hazards and risks they face in their lives. Therefore, developing an effective risk communication framework is not solely based on scientific knowledge, but also involves consumer perceptions, the relationship between consumers and risk communicators, as well as regulatory strategies on food safety.
Objectives
- Shares about knowledge on the basics, guidelines and the key considerations of food safety risk communication.
- Introduce the new concept of food information communication.
- Highlight the importance to educate the public based on science.
- Emphasize the significance of partnership among the stakeholders.
