Course Overview
Many systems are in place to assure that products produced by food manufacturers are safe. However, situations occur whereby products may either not conform to legislative requirements, or they create risks to consumers. These products must be 'recalled' from the market by the manufacturer. We discuss types of recalls and the need for traceability, introduce the components and process of putting together a recall plan, and test a plan through a mock recall.
