Quantitative Risk Assessment

• Among 202 peanut products bearing PAL and peanut listed as minor ingredients (last 3), 8.6% and 37.5% contained peanuts >2.5 ppm respectively. • This 2013 results are similar to 2005 and 2009 surveys. • Doing nothing is not working. • A true safe threshold for any one food and person is impossible to determine. However, the aim of quantitative risk assessment is to reduce the risk of harm from cross-contact allergen to a level considered tolerable, rather than to eliminate the risk altogether.
