Sommario/riassunto

Risk characterization is one of the four steps of microbiological risk assessment, which include hazard identification, exposure assessment, hazard characterization and risk characterization.

It is in the risk characterization step that the results of the risk assessment are presented. These results are provided in the form of risk estimates and risk descripti
