Synopsis (short abstract) Salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis are among the most frequently reported foodborne diseases worldwide. While numerous potential vehicles of transmission exist, commercial chicken meat has been identified as one of the most important food vehicles for these organisms. As a result, the Codex Alimentarius Commission agreed that guidelines for the control of Salmonella and Campylobacter in poultry was a priority and initiated their development in 2007. I n order t o continue t h e i r work and en sure t h a t i t was underpinned with the most robust scientific data, the Codex Committee in Food Hygiene requested FAO and WHO to provide them with the necessary scientific advice. In response to that request, FAO and WHO convened a Technical Meeting from 4 to 8 May 2009 in Rome, Italy, the discussions and the outcome of which are documented in this report. This volume and others in this Microbiological Risk Assessment Series contain information that is useful to both risk assessors and risk m anagers, including international scientific committees, the Codex Alimentarius Commission, governments and food regulatory agencies, scientists, food producers and industries and other people or institutions with an interest in the area of microbiological hazards in foods, their impact on human health and food trade and their control.

    This risk assessment has been elaborated over a number of years. A number of national risk assessments that were available or being finalized when this work was initiated in 2001 were used as a basis from which to elaborate this risk assessment. In the course of its development, the risk assessment has been reviewed by two expert consultations—in 2001 and 2002—and been presented in various forums, including the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene and some international scientific conferences and mee tings. Finally, it was subjected to peer review in 2006. Comments and feedback received at each of these steps have been taken into account in the finalization of the risk assessment.

    The specific objectives of the meeting were to: • Review the existing risk assessments on EHEC in terms of (a) their fulfilling their scope and providing the basis for scientifically-based risk-management actions; and (b) their potential application (in whole or on a modular basis) to the development of a risk assessment at the international level. • Consider the risk management actions, if any, taken to date that were based on risk assessment and identify the strengths and weakness of the risk assessments from a risk management perspective, in particular identifying when and why the risk assessments did not meet the needs of risk managers. • Identify the key issues currently faced by risk managers in terms of addressing the problems associated with EHEC in raw beef and beef products. Considering the output of the above objectives and the existing data on EHEC in raw beef and beef products, provide guidance to FAO and WHO on the specific areas to be addressed in any future work on this issue, and how to address them.

In parallel to the elaboration of this risk assessment, research into Campylobacter spp. in broiler chickens and related issues has been ongoing, and risk assessment work at a national level has continued in some countries. Taking this into consideration, the recent literature has been reviewed and incorporated int o this work as appropriate to ensure that the risk assessment is current at the time of publication in terms of recent developments in scientific knowledge and data.
