The QMRA model used is described by Nauta et al. (2012). The
model combines a consumer phase model and a dose response model
(Teunis and Havelaar, 2000) as described by Nauta and Christensen
(2011) and Nauta et al. (2012), and has also been applied by EFSA
(EFSA Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ), 2011). The output of the
risk assessmentmodel is themean probability of illness fromconsumption
of a random sample of broiler meat. Relative risks of different
broiler meat categories are calculated using Danish chilled meat in
2007 as baselinewith relative risk 1. The year 2007was chosen as baseline
as this was the year before the implementation of the second
Danish action plan (2008–2012).
