Mock Recalls
Food and drinks companies can help minimise the risk of an expensive recall by carrying out a mock product recall exercise to test the effectiveness of their product recall plans.
Md of Gallagher’s major risks practice Alan Pratten said: “No matter how big or small companies are, and no matter how extensive their quality control procedures are, these incidents can happen.
“We always remind companies of the importance of having effective recall plans in place. The best way of doing this is to test the scenario in full by carrying out a full mock product recall exercise.
“This has been shown to be extremely effective in identifying areas of weakness in plans that could potentially hamper or slow down the response times or expose a company to risk.”
