What manufacturers can test this week
Use your next practice recall to choose a sample batch, identify where it was shipped and trace its production time from your own records. If CCTV is part of your site’s incident review process, ask an authorised operator to retrieve one relevant clip. Check whether the timestamp agrees with the records and whether the view is clear enough to answer a specific question, such as when a pallet was handed over at dispatch.
Under Standard 3.2.2, food manufacturers, importers and wholesale suppliers need a written recall plan. Batch and distribution records establish traceability. Footage can provide supporting context for a review. The FSANZ notice describes the product recall and contains no finding about CCTV.
