Comment is sought on the scientific risk assessment process which forms the basis of the FSANZ regulatory measures.
- Risk assessment process is supported.
- Risk assessment process needs to be appropriate for the level of risk.
- Should rely on work already undertaken by authorities and the seafood industry.
- Assessment required of special techniques , the use of antibiotics, hormones and GM.
- A scientific risk assessment is needed for each link in the chain.
- The FSANZ risk assessment process does not properly consider risk analysis in context, ignores data already available to aid businesses implement HACCP, and places undue emphasis on risk assessment more appropriate to the establishment of food product standards.
- The analysis to relate production processes to hazards should occur after the standard is established
