Recall Plan

FSMA's Preventive Controls Rule requires food facilities to have a written Recall Plan in place. Even for facilities exempt from full preventive controls, a recall plan is the cornerstone of FDA's expectation for traceability and rapid response. We build yours in line with FDA's published guidance.

What's Included:

• Custom-written Recall Plan tailored to your product, facility, and distribution

• Recall classification framework (Class I, II, III) with response triggers

• Notification templates (FDA Reportable Food Registry, customers, distributors, public)

• Mock-recall exercise checklist to test the plan annually

• Lot-coding and traceability recommendations

• Recall coordinator role description for your team

Who It's For:

Any food, beverage, or dietary supplement facility distributing in the U.S. — large or small. FDA expects a documented recall plan even when not strictly mandated by your size category. Importers, manufacturers, packers, and warehousers all benefit.

FAQs:
Q: How often should I test the plan?
A: FDA recommends at least one mock recall exercise per year. Our deliverable includes the checklist to run yours.

Q: Does my distributor's recall plan cover me?
A: No. Each entity in the distribution chain needs its own plan. Your distributor's plan covers their internal response, not yours.

Q: Will FDA review my plan?
A: They'll review it during a routine inspection or in response to a complaint. The plan we build is designed to satisfy that review.
