Review of Food Safety Monitoring System in Georgia in Perspective of Risk Assessment/Analysis/Darejan Dughashvili, Natela Dzebisashvili, Zurab Tskitishvili/Transactions IHM, GTU. -2024. -vol.135. -pp.92-97 - Georg., Summ. Georg., Eng. The paper discusses the modern system of food safety monitoring in Georgia. To date, the limited or lack of appropriate data necessary for quantitative risk assessment is mentioned as a factor hindering the assessment of quantitative risks associated with food in Georgia by foreign and local experts and interested parties in the recommendations and conclusions. In addition, some monitoring tools for food safety assessment in Georgia differ from European and international legislation and accordingly this leads to increased uncertainty. In order to obtain monitoring data usable for risk assessment purposes, it is proposed to consider European approaches when developing monitoring programs, including systematic and by project monitoring, during which the compliance of food/animal feed with the requirements determined by the legislation of Georgia should be studied, as well as non-normative hazards – emerging risks.
