Preventing Recalls
The FDA’s Recall Index Report for the second quarter of 2011 stated that undeclared allergens or other allergen concerns were the primary cause of recalls, accounting for more than 45% of food recalls initiated, a 25% increase over the first quarter. How did the allergens get into those products? Mostly due to operator error.
One large snack producer experienced several very large recalls due to operator errors. Two resulted from an operator bringing the wrong ingredient to the processing line, and one was caused by an operator using the wrong packaging material. In all of these cases the product was absolutely fine to eat, but the producer had to recall and dispose of the product because it was no longer packaged in the correct box. The cost to the producer was millions of dollars in lost revenue and raw material waste.
PRIMS would have prevented these recalls by preventing the operator from using the wrong ingredients and/or packaging. How much worse would the situation have been if one of the wrong ingredients added by the operator was an allergen?
