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. But recent events surrounding the global Toyota recalls have brought the topic to the forefront of risk mitigation conversations among corporate executives and their boards.

The CPSC’s Six Priorities for 2010
03-04-2010
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Chairman Inez Tenenbaum recently said her agency has been able to bring parents and consumers a renewed confidence as they reach for toys on store shelves. To support her statement, Tenenbaum cited a significant decline in toy recalls in 2009 compared with 2008 and a large decrease in lead paint recalls as well during the same period. While staggering recall numbers may sound like good news, it would be risky to relax your recall planning efforts.

Retail chains are becoming more aggressive in their approach to handling recalls from their stores. As their retailers become more active in the recall process, manufacturers need to have a better understanding of exactly how retailers will operate and communicate when they have to execute a recall.

We had the opportunity this week to help yet another client effectively manage a major recall. No matter how many times I see it, I’m still amazed at how quickly the 200,000 square feet of shelves in our returns facility can fill up. Millions of units poured into our warehouse from consumers, retailers, and distributors. Each unit was processed, recorded, and appropriately marked as having been permanently removed from the supply chain.
