Food Recall automation software

Although there maybe numerous reasons for food recalls, some of the most prominent ones are:

  • Outbreaks of Salmonella, E coli, Listeria and such pathogens
  • Cross contamination of food with common allergens. Like, milk, wheat, soy and peanuts
  • Presence of foreign substance like metal, glass or plastic, wood and insect body parts
  • Mislabelling and misinformation

Effects of recall on a company:

  • Food recalls lead to normal operations getting disrupted
  • Improper implementation can prove to be catastrophic as the costs incurred can be astronomically high
  • Delay in Recalls cause immense damage to the reputation of the Brand/ Company.

It is therefore in the best interest of the organization to execute the product recall effectively and accurately.

FOOD RECALL STEPS

It is important to have a Food Recall plan. A comprehensive and detailed template should be created for proper recording of the details. The steps to be followed are:

  • A Recall Team should be assembled to tackle the situation effectively.
  • Examine the products to confirm that Recall is neccesary.
  • In case Recall is decided the concerned authorities should be informed.
  • A press release is imperative. The consumers need to be told about the products that are being recalled along with the reason for recall.
  • The concerned products under the direct jurisdiction of the company should be segregated.
  • All participants in the supply chain should be notified without any delay. Specific instructions should be given regarding the withdrawal and return of the products.
  • Decision making regarding the future of the recalled products is the most important step in the entire plan. Sometimes, depending on the nature of the defect, food items are often discarded completely.

As it can be seen that a product recall process is extensive, it is in the benefit of the company to get it right in the first attempt itself. In order to achieve this, mock recall procedures are undertaken. This will also enable them to identify and fix issues before releasing the food packages into the markets.
