It usually takes a recall of immense proportions for the whole world to take notice. And when a recall of that magnitude does occur, it draws attention to the company’s crisis management, government regulatory policies and the industry’s overall recall preparedness. Right now, Toyota is at the center of such a recall.

It seems that every day some special interest group is pointing to a product that has been around for years and suddenly claiming that it is dangerous. Some are even calling for new regulations to govern ordinary and obvious hazards that all of us have been familiar with since childhood. And more regulations will surely generate more recalls. You may get hit, even if your products have been around for decades and have never been involved in any kind of recall.

FDA Guidance on Recalls of Food Products due to Salmonella
03-12-2010
A recent list of recalls includes a product unfamiliar to most consumers but essential to many food processors - hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (both Dry Powder and Paste HVP). The product was recalled recently because of Salmonella contamination identified both in a finished consumer product and in a manufacturing facility after testing by the manufacturer and the FDA. Once again, an ingredient used in many food products faces a recall, begging the question: do you know your suppliers and are you sure they have effective recall plans in place?

I recently shared some insights with corporate directors about how to effectively manage a recall – a topic far too often overlooked.
