Monitoring of risk management

Assessment of effectiveness  of measures taken, and review risk  management  and/or assessment,  as  necessary. The outcome of the risk evaluation process should be combined with the evaluation of available risk management options, in order to reach a decision on management of the risk. In arriving at this decision, human health protection should be the primary consideration, with other factors (e.g. economic costs, benefits, technical feasibility, risk perceptions etc.) being considered as appropriate.  Implementation of the management decision should be followed by monitoring both the effectiveness of the control measure and its impact on risk to the exposed consumer population, to ensure that the  food safety objective is being met.
