Feasibility Study to Inform the Development of a Risk Assessment Model to Measure the Effectiveness of Foodchain Interventions on the Levels of Campylobacter in Chicken on Retail Sale in the UK

Objective

This review is aimed at identifying the most applicable methods, from previous risk assessments, with which to answer the FSA risk question:
<P>

"Evaluate and compare the effectiveness of interventions in reducing either the prevalence or concentration of campylobacter on raw chicken at retail"

<P>
The scope of the risk assessment is from on-farm production to raw chicken meat at retail (i.e. not further processed). The assessment includes all on-farm production types (conventional, free range, organic) and storage types (fresh and frozen).
