The past decade has seen rapid developments in risk assessment techniques and tools related to food safety and food defense. These advances are beginning to have a significant impact on the decision making processes used by risk managers in both government and industry. Furthermore, the highly complex issues currently facing the management of food safety risks on an international basis are likely to require even more sophisticated assessments. One of the key challenges that must be met to advance the adoption of risk analysis principles is learning how risk managers can best utilize the results of risk assessments as they must take the results of complex stochastic models and adapt the findings to the binary decision criteria that are the basis for legal decisions. This will require a better articulation of key principles of food safety risk management, such as the recently adopted Codex Alimentarius "Principles and Guidelines for the Conduct of Microbial Risk Management."
过去十年中，食品安全和食品防御相关的风险评估技术和工具得到了迅速发展。这些进展开始对政府和行业风险管理人员所使用的决策过程产生重大影响。此外，目前在国际基础上管理食品安全风险所面临的高度复杂问题可能需要更复杂的评估。为了推进风险分析原则的采用，必须应对的一个关键挑战是学习风险管理人员如何最好地利用风险评估的结果，因为他们必须采用复杂的随机模型的结果，并将发现结果调整为法律决策基础的二进制决策标准。这将需要更好地阐明食品安全风险管理的关键原则，例如最近通过的《食品法典》“微生物风险管理原则和指南”。
