Food animal—specific EEC load.

<p>Shown is the load at the start (before any treatment), at retail (after possible preretail treatment), after storage at the consumer and after preparation at the consumer (= at the moment of consumption). The loads refer to the total meat consumption by the whole Dutch population in a year. All Mutton/lamb values (marker X) are zero and inserted arbitrarily at the Y-axis 1E+06 value.</p

<p>Effect of 10-fold changes in parameter base values on total exposure (No. EEC) and food animal-specific attribution of exposure. P = preretail, S = storage, H = consumer heating, conc = concentration, cat = category, frac = fraction, cc = cross-contamination.</p

Total exposure and exposure split up into transmission via the meat product and cross-contamination for several product categories.

<p>‘S cons non raw’ and ‘S cons raw’ stand for Surface-contaminated products (see 2.1) that were either heated or not heated by the consumer, respectively. ‘6b’ and ‘I-6b’ are category 6b products and I-products without category 6b, respectively (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0169589#pone.0169589.t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>). ‘D-undivided’ and ‘D-divided’ refer to the fraction of Dividable products that were undivided and divided by the consumer during heating, respectively. A marker is changed to an X while retaining black or grey when the value is zero and is inserted arbitrarily at the Y-axis 1E+04 value.</p
