Quantitative risk assessment is a procedure that can be applied to infectious foodborne diseases to develop effective and efficient risk-based food safety programs. It consists of four steps: hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. Once hazards have been identified and their risks characterized, this information must be clearly disseminated to the public to facilitate productive policy debate. Increased use of this process in the formulation of food safety policy would help create solid, scientifically justifiable programs offering the greatest public health protection at the lowest cost.
定量风险评估是一种可应用于食源性传染病的程序，以制定有效且高效的基于风险的食品安全计划。它包括四个步骤：危害识别、剂量反应评估、暴露评估和风险特征描述。一旦识别出危害并描述了其风险，就必须将此信息清楚地传播给公众，以促进富有成效的政策辩论。在制定食品安全政策时更多地使用这一程序将有助于创建坚实的、具有科学依据的计划，以最低成本提供最大程度的公共卫生保护。
