Food or feed incidents: recalls and withdrawals
After an incident
After dealing with the immediate incident you must work out how and why the incident happened and how to prevent future incidents.
You can carry out a root cause analysis to do this.
Get information from the Food Standard Agency’s (FSA’s) root cause analysis online course and their root cause analysis resources.
You can also ask your local authority for advice.
This guide is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).
You can also prevent incidents by:
- having a food safety system
- following food hygiene best practice
- ensuring food is labelled correctly
