Sourcing risks

Risk	Category	Severity	Mitigation
Pathogen contamination (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli) Food safetyHigh Wheat flour can become contaminated with food‑borne pathogens during post‑harvest handling, storage, and milling, leading to outbreaks when the flour is used in low‑moisture foods.	Food safety	High	Implement antimicrobial tempering, thermal or validated non‑thermal treatments, and enforce strict sanitation of transport, storage bins, and milling equipment.
Rodent and insect infestation PestMedium Dust, insects, rodents and birds in storage facilities act as reservoirs and vectors for pathogens, increasing the risk of microbial contamination of wheat flour.	Pest	Medium	Maintain sealed, pest‑controlled storage, regular facility cleaning, and inspect transport vehicles for gaps.
Lack of mandated pathogen‑reduction standards PolicyMedium Regulators currently have no mandatory performance guidelines for pathogen reduction in wheat milling, leaving safety outcomes dependent on voluntary industry practices.	Policy	Medium	Advocate for regulatory benchmarks (e.g., minimum 3‑log CFU/g reduction) and adopt industry‑wide best‑practice protocols.
