Abstract
Approaches of risk assessment used under food risk analysis become increasingly more complex and sophisticated, because social needs for risk management are more diverse. This research reviewed several existing reports about quantitative risk assessment and relevant guidelines focused on risk management goals, risk assessment policy, and the approach of risk estimates with the case of chemical risk and microbiological risk. Moreover these approaches were classified based on risk management goals. As a result, it was suggested that approaches of risk assessment could be classified according to three dimension provided to a risk management. It has three knowledge types about risk estimates: i) adopting multi-risk, ii) adopting distribution of risk, iii) adopting economic analysis.
