RISK‐BASED CHEMICAL CONTAMINANT PROGRAM
Goal: Objectively identify the chemical contaminants
that pose a risk to each ingredient.
Overview of template
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
•
Developed by engineers in the 1950
•
Assigns values to two components of risk:
•
Probability – the likelihood that an even will occur
•
Severity – the impact if an event were to occur

The product of probability and severity can then be used as the
basis for a program to control chemical contaminants
