A risk estimation that was either low’ or was considered sufficient to achieve ‘very ‘negligible’ Australia’s ALOP. This provided a benchmark for evaluating risk and determining whether risk management was required. The use of a benchmark for evaluating risks for each disease agent is illustrated in the process outlined below: if the unrestricted risk was or low’, then it achieved Australia’s ALOP and risk ‘negligible’ ‘very management was not required if the unrestricted risk was or risk management measures ‘low’, ‘moderate’, ‘high’ ‘extreme’, were required. This was considered the final output of the risk assessment. Risk management Once the unrestricted risk for a particular hazard has been assessed and evaluated as exceeding Australia’s ALOP, measures to manage and reduce that risk are considered and proposed. The imposition of a particular risk management measure or a combination of measures results in the derivation of the restricted risk. The aim of risk management measures being to meet Australia’s ALOP by reducing the restricted risk to low’ or ‘very ‘negligible’. Risk management options considered in this report aim to reduce the likelihood that cooked turkey meat from the US would lead to the entry, exposure, and establishment and/or spread of disease
