Quantitative Risk Assessment
•
Among 202 peanut products bearing PAL and peanut listed as minor
ingredients (last 3), 8.6% and 37.5% contained peanuts >2.5 ppm
respectively.
•
This 2013 results are similar to 2005 and 2009 surveys.
•

determine. However, the aim of quantitative risk assessment is to reduce
the risk of harm from cross-contact allergen to a level considered
tolerable, rather than to eliminate the risk altogether.
