Product Recall

BRC Best Practice Guideline - Product Recall

A product recall system is a fundamental component of a company’s product safety management system.

All organisations involved with the supply and sale of products must take all necessary actions to protect public health in the event that they become aware of, or are notified of, a potential safety incident. Product recalls are instigated to:

•  
•  
• Minimise risk of injury to the consumer
• Ensure compliance with legal requirements
• Protect company assets (including brand reputation) 

The guideline provides advice and guidance to all businesses within the product supply chain, with respect to:

• Developing and implementing an incident management plan
• Factors to consider in managing an incident
• Risk assessing the impact of the incident on customers and the brand
• Managing the consequent risk
• Implementing product recall and product withdrawal procedures
• Post product recall activities
