Hazard identification is the starting point of Food Safety Risk Assessment. It involves identifying potential sources of harm in food, such as harmful bacteria, chemicals, or foreign objects. Creating a checklist of these hazards lays the foundation for further analysis and control.

Once hazards have been identified, the Food Safety Risk Assessment evaluates the probability and severity of harm they might cause. This evaluation provides a clear picture of the level of risk associated with different hazards.

Risk communication involves sharing the findings of the risk assessment and management strategies with relevant stakeholders. This ensures everyone involved, from consumers to producers, is informed about potential hazards and the measures in place to address them.
Risks in the food industry can change over time. Risk monitoring and review involve continuous checks to ensure that risk management strategies remain effective. Regular monitoring detects shifts in hazards or their impacts, allowing for necessary adjustments.
Control measures are practical steps taken to guarantee food safety. They include rules and guidelines that act as safeguards against potential risks, ensuring the food we consume is free from harmful contaminants and safe for our health.
