IntroductionProduct recall is indicated when a product may represent a health hazard to the consumer. The procedures implemented should effectively remove the product from circulation to prevent its consumption. The product recall procedures should be undertaken by the producer in an efficient and speedy manner.

DefinitionsProduct RecallA company’s correction in the field or removal from the marketplace and distribution channels of products which are subject to regulatory action under the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Product recall is an efficient and effective means of removing sizeable quantities of products from the marketplace.

Market WithdrawalA company’s removal or correction of distributed products involving no violation or a minor violation of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Product RecoveryA company’s removal or correction of products that have not left the direct control of the manufacturer or at primary distributor under the firm’s control. It would be a product recall or market withdrawal if the product were in distribution channels.

Recall ClassificationsClass IA situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a volatile product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. In a Class I Recall, top priority must be given to the complete and immediate removal of the recalled products from all levels in the distribution chain – all the way down to the consumer level.

Class IIA situation in which the use of, or exposure to, a volatile product may cause temporary adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. In a Class II Recall, products must be removed from all levels in the distribution chain.

Class IIIA situation in which the use of, or exposure to, a volatile product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. In a Class III Recall, product must be removed from all levels of the distribution chain.

Once the product is removed from circulation, the recalled product may then be subject to testing, corrective action to ensure compliance, or destruction, depending on the nature of the problem.

Preparation of Public Notice

Class I Recall To avoid damaging publicity, it is in the best interest of the company to notify the insurance company in the event of a Class I Recall. They will be advised of the situation with accuracy, detail and solid facts which only then should the information on the Class I Recall be released to the media.

Class II & III For class II and III, no release to media is necessary

Product Recovery & Disposition

To ensure Product Recall is recovered expediently, an accurate record of the quantity picked up from the customers and the quantity received at Luen Sing Food Ltd. must be clearly documented.

Upon receipt, product would be segregated and evaluated. Quantity received would be verified against quantity produced and/or distributed. Information would be recorded on the Product Return Slip.

Termination of Recall

The recall is considered to be complete when satisfactory information on accurate inventory of returned goods and proper disposition of the recalled product is provided. A summary of the corrective measures taken by the company to eliminate manufacturing and distribution processes that caused the recall is required.
