RISK‐BASED CHEMICAL CONTAMINANT PROGRAM

Goal: Objectively identify the chemical contaminants that pose a risk to each ingredient.

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

Salient Features: •

Defines a process for creating a program to control chemical

contaminants

• Provides objective criteria through which to determine the risks of specific chemical contaminants (severity and probability) • Describes examples of how the process can be used
