    Unsafe food, the duty to notify the regulator, and the difference between a withdrawal and a recall.

  2. 2

    The recall plan

    The crisis team, roles, contact lists, templates and the decision tree you use at two in the morning.

  3. 3

    Running the recall

    Tracing the lot, stock reconciliation, notifying the regulator, customers and consumers, and product return and disposal.

  4. 4

    Crisis communication

    The press statement, social media replies, customer calls and keeping one consistent message.

  5. 5

    Mock recalls and effectiveness checks

    How to test the plan, measure recovery and prove the result to an auditor.

  6. 6

    Your own recall and crisis plan, tested live

    You write the plan for your own site and run a live mock recall on one of your real lot codes.
