FAO and WHO initiated a risk assessment on Vibrio spp. in seafood in 2001. An ad hoc expert drafting group was established to examine the available relevant information and undertake the risk assessment. Their work has been reviewed and guided by two expert consultations. Also in the course of the work, updates and interim replies to their questions posed have been provided to the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) and the Codex Committee on Fish and Fish Products (CCFFP).
Essentially five risk assessments have been undertaken as follows:
- Vibrio parahaemolyticus in raw oysters consumed in Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Australia and the United States of America
- Vibrio parahaemolyticus in finfish consumed raw
- Vibrio parahaemolyticus in bloody clams consumed in Thailand
- Vibrio vulnificus in raw oysters consumed in the United States of America
- Choleragenic Vibrio cholerae in warm-water shrimp in international trade
The risk assessments are being peer-reviewed and if not
already published are forthcoming.
