Query on the Implementation of Product Withdrawal and Recall

Dear Charles.C

I am a manufacturer, i only supply my product to customer (not retailer), so i only conduct withdrawal without recall. It is exact?

thanks and wait your answer

Hi Ms Chau,

Sorry but i don't quite understand yr question.

What is the local difference between "withdrawal" and "recall" ?

Hi!

Withdrawal and recall definition follow BRC.

I only supply my product to customer, not consumer

Hi binhchau,

Thks for clarification.

Queries on the interpretation of withdrawal/recall have been discussed previously including some differences of opinion. See these threads for Food and Packaging respectively –

Yr situation looks similar to Posts 7,10 of 2^nd link (Packaging) whose (practical) interpretation is, I think, similar to your own and was apparently BRC acceptable (but also note the possible caveats in Posts 9,10). I further anticipate that the overall situation may relate to any existing Local Regulations.

I believe that the BRC Guidelines detail their expectations regarding Recalls.

addendum

Just in case i misinterpreted yr OP, my previous post  does not  necessarily imply exemption from recall-related elements in section 3.11. For example the necessity for an emergency recall could originate from the manufacturer.

Since you are in the US check the link on FDA's definition of recall versus withdrawal.  You will find they are very similar...and really from your perspective (as a supplier) it doesn't matter who the end customer is, industrial versus retailer.

Keep in mind that any market withdrawal or recall you will need to follow the process required by the FDA with reporting the action via the Reportable Food Registry, link below.

If you are writing a program/protocol for this be sure to include this in your program/protocol.

Hi there fellow members! I am new to the forum and I have a question to ask.

Are there food combinations that are dangerous by any cooking methods?

Example: Possibly chemical reaction causing a poison, alcohol mixed with a certain ingredient
