Preventing Recalls: Focus on Suppliers, Ingredients, and Batching

Last week’s recalls highlighted critical risks stemming from allergens and chemical contaminants. These issues underscore the importance of vigilance in sourcing, ingredient handling, and batching processes.

This week’s prevention focus:

1. Strengthen Supplier Audits – Ensure your suppliers provide detailed allergen control and chemical contaminant prevention plans and compliance.
2. Verify Ingredient Integrity – Conduct random testing on incoming ingredients, prior to use, to confirm compliance with specifications.
3. Enhance Batching Precision – Review batching protocols to avoid cross-contact or unintentional inclusion of allergens or chemicals.

By prioritizing these areas, you can reduce risks and protect your brand’s integrity.

Make prevention a daily discipline!
