A systematic approach to examine and assess public health and safety risks associated with food. Risk analysis addresses two questions:

1. What is the nature and magnitude of the health risk?

2. How should the risk be managed and communicated to those affected?

 Food risk analysis encompasses the disciplines of risk assessment, risk management and risk communication.
