    4. Meat & Poultry Recalls Important facts to keep in mind Recalls are voluntary; plants have complied in the past FSIS & NCDA MPID have the authority to seize adulterated product in commerce Plants initiate and are in charge of the recalls Plants provide distribution information to FSIS or MPID FSIS or MPID judge effectiveness of the recall and take actions accordingly

    6. Meat & Poultry Recalls NCDA & CS MPID perform recalls in state plants MPID personnel get distribution information from plant, perform number of checks at direction of State Director Recall checks carried out by MPID compliance and EIAO personnel: if needed other veterinarians and supervisors are used In very large recalls (Castleberry, Westland-Hallmark), other NCDA & CS personnel utilized as well

    7. Meat & Poultry Recalls Problems and Opportunities for future Small retailers and other food providers that do not utilize a food distributor do not receive recall information Reach out and find these food providers (databases?) Get them on a distribution list for recall Because plant distribution information can not be released, creates delays and problems in identifying all the affected recall product Distribution info problem magnified when the plant that is doing the recall produces mostly “wholesale” product for further processing at other plants. End product that must be recalled has different plant names, establishment numbers, dates, etc.
