Generally speaking, the meat offered for sale in Canadian supermarkets is excellent in terms of its microbiological quality. Even so, regardless of the technology used, the possibility that undesirable micro-organisms may be present in raw meat cannot be eliminated completely... 3, record 1, English, - microbiological%20quality

Currently available detection methods do not allow for the routine analysis of all microorganisms that could be present in inadequately treated drinking water. Instead, microbiological quality is determined by testing drinking water for Escherichia coli, a bacterium that is always present in the intestines of humans and other animals and whose presence in drinking water would indicate faecal contamination of the water. 4, record 1, English, - microbiological%20quality

The assessments of risk from hazards in food and water have much in common. A common approach to microbiological hazards in food and water may accelerate development of the science and may also improve the quantity and quality of data available to conduct risk assessments. The hazard characterization step of risk assessment is the one most amenable to a common approach. WHO has been leading the development of risk analysis for the management of public health risks posed by hazards in water. 2, record 2, English, - hazard%20characterization
