Italian term or phrase: la determinazione dell’entità
E’ importante quindi evidenziare la differenza tra pericolo di contaminazione alimentare e rischio di contaminazione alimentare.
II primo consiste nella potenzialità di una determinata entitià di causare il danno; il secondo invece definisce la probabilità o la frequenza del verificarsi di un evento dannoso con *la determinazione dell’entità* e delle sue conseguenze

English translation:identification of the entity
Explanation:
The author is comparing the actual hazard of food contamination against the risk or potential hazard. To gauge the risk you need to identify the hazard, and I think that in your case the term "identification" is closer to the meaning of "determinazione".

As to "entity", apparently this is used in this field. I found a glossary on food contamination (for pork).

Inspection: Activity such as measuring, examining, testing, or gauging one or more characteristics of an entity and comparing the results with specified requirements in order to establish whether conformity is achieved for each characteristic.
