The project aimed to provide risk managers a dossier of information on the evaluation of food safety risks to help prioritize food commodity-hazard combinations for risk analysis.
University of the Philippines Diliman
DOST Integrated Food Safety Program
DOST-PCIEERD
To conduct a narrative review of information related to Philippine food safety for the development of risk profiles.
To determine the exposure pathway of Philippine food commodities based on risks in the food chain for future risk management action
To create a compendium of risk profiles that will be communicated with risk managers and relevant stakeholders for appropriate action.
To transfer the established system of risk analysis under Philippine scenario to risk managers and risk assessors for proper action and implementation.
8 Publications on risk profiles and Procedural manual for the mechanism of microbiological and chemical risk profiling
16 project team members and 51 people trained on risk analysis/risk profiling 86 people to be transferred with knowledge on process of risk profiling including risk managers and risk assessors
