We found a peanut shell in one of our raw material which triggers our company recall policy. The peanut didn't come from us, it is from the vendor. And with US thanksgiving most stateside vendors is on skeleton crew. 

 

How do I classify this? Class 2? Peanut wasn't found just the shell so it is the case of may have contact with peanut. I tried to look through CFIA recall notices and ours do not meet most of their recalls.

Call your inspector and speak to them.  They will be more than happy to assist

I swear there was a whole lengthy thread on a previous instance of this. I will look again for it.

I should have added that if you (The company) deem it to be a recall, then you must follow CFIA's process

 

 

I hope your traceability records are complete and up to date so you don't recall any more than you have to

 

 

It's probably a class 3

@scampi I was reading that and got confused because sounds like CFIA is the one assigning the Classes but if we are to follow the steps, we should be the one classifying it. 

Anywho, we have a plan and I have to do it within 24 hours of discovery anyway so I am in the process...

 

Thank you for the info

 If you do decide to perform a recall, once you notify CFIA it's up to them, your job is simply notifying them
