Firms can't cope with product recall surge

Manufacturers remain woefully unprepared as product recalls surge, according to a report compiled by customer management expert Navigator Customer Management (NCM).

Already this year, there have been over 20 food product recalls issued in the UK - nearly double the level at the same time in 2007. But contingency facilities are often insufficient to meet the sudden spike of enquiries, claimed the report.

Could you cope technically during a crisis?

My specialist areas

HACCP

A HACCP based system is required by law for all food manufacturing and catering establishments. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point programs provide the best system of protection against contamination and subsequent prosecution.

Every food operation should be able to identify their own specific hazards and their means of control. Hazards may include foreign bodies, chemical contamination and bacterial food poisoning.

Do you have the technical expertise in-house to be able to do this? If not, you need a specialist food safety consultant to assist your staff in undertaking the analysis and developing the control systems and documentation needed.
