Abstract
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has developed a quantitative risk assessment model to help inform inspection resources’ allocation for food establishments. This “Establishment-based risk assessment” (ERA) model takes into consideration risks associated with a specific food commodity, operation or manufacturing process, mitigation strategies implemented by the industry to control their food safety risks, as well as establishment compliance information (Racicot et al., 2018 and 2019; Zanabria et al., 2018). In 2014, a pilot project assessed the model’s performance with 49 meat/poultry establishments resulting in a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.64 (p< 0.001) between the model outputs (annual number of DALYs) and the assessment done by CFIA senior inspectors.
