Show that your recall process works

This module records recall and traceability exercises: the scenario, lead time, percentage of product traced, result and lessons learned. Any EWS notification and the planning of the next round are part of the file too. At an audit you show in one overview that your recall process works.

What you do with Traceability & recall

Three types of exercise

Record a mock recall, a real recall or a traceability test with the same form. You choose the direction of the trace: upstream to the supplier, downstream to the customer, or both.

Lead time and share traced

Record the planned and actual lead time in minutes, the percentage of product traced and the result: passed, partly passed or failed.

Evaluation and lessons learned

Describe what went well, what could be better and which follow-up actions are needed. With Create improvement action you put lessons learned straight into the central action list, with an owner and deadline.

Record EWS notifications

If an authority was notified, the EWS notification switch lets you record the date and the body, for example the NVWA or GMP+ International. Notified files are clearly marked.

Next exercise tracked

You enter the date of the next exercise. The to-be-scheduled counter and the calendar warn you in time, and an overdue date is highlighted in the overview.

Report attached to the file

Attach the recall or traceability report, to download or replace later. If you use Allergen management, you pick the product from that register.

In practice

How it works

  1. 1

    Create an exercise

    With New exercise you choose the type and enter the title, date, product, batch or lot, direction and scenario.

  2. 2

    Carry out and record

    After the exercise you record the lead time, the percentage traced and the result.

  3. 3

    Evaluate

    You describe the lessons learned and assign improvement actions in the action list.

  4. 4

    Plan the next round

    You attach the report and plan the next exercise, so the file is complete for the audit.

Standards and legislation

Where it helps you

BrydgeOne contains no text of the standards. Here you see which topics from standards and legislation this module helps you with.

ISO 22000

Exercises with results and lessons learned serve as evidence for clause 8.9.5 on withdrawal and recall of products.

GMP+

Periodic exercises and any notification via the GMP+ Early Warning System are recorded in the file as evidence.

How to build a HACCP plan: the seven principles in plain languageBuilding a HACCP plan means deciding in advance where in your process food can become unsafe and how you prevent that. You work with seven principles and a few preparatory steps. Here you read what each step involves and how to approach it in practice. Traceability and recall drills: how to test whether you can really find your productA recall drill shows whether, when there is a problem, you can quickly find out where a batch came from and where it went. You test your traceability before it is really needed. Here you read how to organize it, run the exercise and record the outcome.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Traceability & recall

What is the difference between a mock recall and a traceability test?

A traceability test only checks whether you can trace a batch upstream and downstream. A mock recall also simulates the whole recall process: communication, decision-making and lead time.

How often should we run an exercise?

Your certification scheme sets that, often at least once a year. Enter the date of the next exercise and the system tracks the deadline.

An exercise failed. What now?

Record the lessons learned in the evaluation and turn them into an action. Then plan a new exercise soon to show that the improvement works.

Can I also record a real recall?

Yes, with the same form, including the EWS notification with date and authority.
