Food and drink

The world’s leading product recall company. Supporting the food and drink sector since 1995.

EVOLVING THREATS IN FOOD SAFETY

We are proud to partner with 8/10 of the world’s leading food and drink brands.

Regulatory scrutiny has been increasing around the world in response to a number of high-profile product recalls and rising consumer expectations for product safety in the food and drink industry. Moreover, as local health officials advocate immediate action, the severity of regulatory measures against contamination and safety incidents in the sector has notably escalated to safeguard consumer health.

This heightened vigilance follows a number of fatal foodborne illness outbreaks, but the trend does not apply only to those risks. Undeclared allergens, toxins, manufacturing errors, mislabeling or unintentional cross-contamination and environmental contamination are a growing risk for food  and drink manufacturers.

Since 1995, we’ve partnered with the world’s leading food and drink manufacturers to develop, test and execute over 7,000 product recall and remediation programs across 100 countries and 50 languages.

Whether you’re planning for — or currently facing — a product recall, market withdrawal or any other in-market product incident, our experts are on hand to support you.

PRODUCT RECALL MANAGEMENT FOR GROCERS

Grocers are pivotal in swiftly removing affected products from shelves by establishing proactive recall management protocols.

A strategic combination of notification services, robust call center support, and a flexible global product removal team makes the difference between executing a seamless food and beverage recall and encountering a brand crisis.

This preparedness is particularly critical for grocers with private label foods. In the event of a product recall, these grocers, akin to manufacturers, face identical standards.

For more than 25 years, we have expertly managed thousands of global food and drink recall events and market withdrawals, and expertly mastered complex and evolving regulatory guidelines. Today we are proud to partner with 8 out of the world’s leading 10 food and drink brands – discover how we can support you.

FOOD & DRINK REMEDIATION

Safeguarding consumer health remains paramount in every facet of food and drink product management.

While not every issue mandates a formal recall, swift and cautious action is indispensable in ensuring consumer safety.

When a product concern is detected, whether reported by a consumer or identified in the manufacturing facility, an immediate response becomes pivotal to protect both brand reputation and consumer well-being. We recognize the importance of vigilance in these situations. Our brand protection field team is capable of mobilizing within 24 hours to retrieve products from consumer homes and throughout the supply chain, submit them for testing and seamlessly facilitate replacement.

This proactive approach, although precautionary, is essential in preserving brand integrity, assuring consumer safety, and minimizing potential risks for food and drink manufacturers and grocers worldwide.
