Highlights

• French Campylobacter data 2020-21 on testing broilers neck skin (NS) pools was used • Human risk of disease was estimated by a Danish model developed for leg skins (LS)

• The 2021 risk relative to 2020 (RR) was 1.22 meaning an increase of risk of ≈ 22%

• A harmonized risk assessment could be carried out using pooled NS data

• Limitations for harmonizing risk assessment across countries were addressed
