In an effort to respond more quickly and effectively to food borne illness outbreaks and food safety issues that may demand recall management, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that it is creating the Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation Network (CORE). Food industry officials should be aware of this new initiative and take steps to create their own programs in order to prevent food safety outbreaks, manage recall risks, and ensure effective recall management.

According to a new government report, federal regulators can do a better job of monitoring how antibiotics are being used by livestock producers. As the FDA and USDA review the findings, all sectors of the food industry should pay close attention to the ongoing debate about antibiotic resistance and be prepared with a comprehensive recall management plan should the need arise.

A recent poll found that most Americans are less concerned about food safety now than they were a year ago. The survey also found that the public’s perception of the severity of food-borne illness has increased, with 22 percent of respondents claiming that they had become seriously ill from something they ate, up from 12 percent last year. With these disturbing numbers in mind, the food industry should be planning carefully for potential recalls and examining their recall management policies and recall communication procedures.

Congress has voted a $50 million budget increase for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to help the agency implement its expanded authority, including increased recall management oversight, under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). As Congress continues to look for ways to trim budgets, a number of federal agencies are facing deep cuts. The expanded budget for implementation of the FSMA is a reminder that food safety oversight remains a top priority for federal regulators.

Managing the Disposal of Recalled Products
09-19-2011

Every couple of months, we hear about a recall that makes consumers and the media take a step back and ask whose responsibility it is to keep people safe and whether the company involved and the regulators responsible for oversight are doing a good job. Then there is always the question of what happens to recalled products after they are pulled from the shelves. The recall process can be long and complicated, and it only ends after all the recalled products have been disposed of, a critical element of effective recall management.
