Hi gagansaini,

 

Could you explain what kind of help you are seeking ?

[gagansaini1]

I am in process of SQF certification level 2, I need to know about forms templates for maintaining records for any kind of recall like recall notice.

 

Thanks

In my opinion, a template for a recall notice should be written by legal counsel with the appropriate expertise.  An internal recall template can be fairly simple.  For instance, we use a cover page as an "at-a-glance" summary of the data involved in the [mock-thankfully] recall.

 

-Names and titles of those working on the recall

-Product name and other identifying information such as a upc number

-product lot number(s)

-Dates and perhaps times

-Time to recover first level

-Volume produced

-volume in inventory (under your direct control)

-volume shipped

-volume destroyed

-volume samples (laboratory samples, for instance)

-volume not accounted for

-%volume accounted for

-%volume recovered

-places where shipped

-disposition of product

-disposition of product not recovered (e.g., destoryed by customer)

-whether direct notification was made to customers

-whether direct notification was made to FDA, certifying body, etc.

 

If you're ever in a real recall, which I hope no one is, keep all records, emails, handwritten notes, voicemails, etc

We have templates for recall in our FoodSafeSQF software, however I am sure that International Food Safety & Quality Network does as well in their SQF specific software. You should check out their offerings, software can make life easier during developments.

Yes, visit the file library here on IFSQN - there are several recall documents that should help guide you in your endeavors. If you're looking for just documents, there are also plenty out there via a quick Google search.
