In the area of food safety, the use of risk assessment in decision making has expanded from regulatory toxicology to environmental toxicology and microbiological hazards. Different types of risk assessment are used. In this chapter, a short comparison of the risk assessment approaches of the Office International d´Epizooties (OIE) and Codex Alimentarius is given. For the successful use of risk assessment in decision making several questions need to be addressed, including who conducts risk assessments, how to define the question to be answered, what is the basic outline of the risk assessment process, availability and quality of data, use of expert opinions as well as expertise and resources needed. As an example, the work done for the Finnish Salmonella Control program consisting of both of quantitative microbiological risk assessment and economic evaluation is presented.
