GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) Standard v6
Traceability, segregation, mass balance, recall, complaints and non-conforming product (FV-GFS 06 to 11) – GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) Standard v6

GLOBALG.A.P. Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) Standard v6 FV-GFS 09.01: FV-GFS 09.01 Documented procedures are in place to manage the recall and withdrawal of products from the marketplace, and such procedures are tested annually.

A written recall and withdrawal procedure sets out the kinds of event that could lead to a recall, who takes the decision, how the following link in the supply chain is informed, when authorities are notified, how the certification body is contacted (the CB may then contact the Secretariat), and how stock is reconciled. The procedure is tested every year and the outcome of the mock recall is recorded, for example by following a chosen lot forward to the customer; clients need not actually be contacted, as a current contact list is enough, and a genuine recall within the past year can count as the test.
