Recall and Safety Alert Watch
Find out that a raw material or supplier has already been recalled somewhere while it can still be kept out of the specification, instead of learning it from a pathogen result.
What it does
Searches published food recall and safety alert registers for an ingredient, product or hazard, and reports what was withdrawn, why, and by which authority.
Ask it like this
youHas anything been recalled for listeria that we should know about before we approve this dairy supplier?
You never name the capability. Your assistant selects recall_watch itself.
