Alan Lyons and Ronald Levine authored a bylined article for Food Manufacturing's October issue about how food companies can prepare proactively for a recall. The article discusses the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirement that companies have a recall plan in advance, as well as adequate insurance coverage to hedge against potential losses from conducting recalls, lower sales and diminished consumer goodwill.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
