Abstract
Risk assessment is a novel approach, which is the estimation of the impact of hazards and the identification of components. The process in risk assessment is hazard identification, hazard characterisation, exposure assessment and risk characterisation. As a means of hazard evaluation, microbiological risk assessment links food and risk factors, such as food-borne bacteria, through data to predict their hazards relatively accurately and reliably, thereby reducing their impact on public health. This study mainly introduces the scientific information about risk assessment and the quantitative microbiological risk assessment in the instant food，mainly to evaluate the level of Listeria in foods. Meat products cause 60% of Listeria monocytogenes.
