🚩 ⚠ FDA MedWatch - FDA Encourages Public to Follow Established Choking Rescue Protocols ⚠ 🚩 On April 22nd, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (#FDA) issued a safety communication to encourage the public to follow #Established #AntiChoking #Protocols, which are step-by-step guides, approved by the #AmericanRedCross and the #AmericanHeartAssociation to relieve the #AirwayObstruction in #Choking #Victims. These protocols include abdominal thrusts (also called the “Heimlich” maneuver) for children and adults. These protocols do not include anti-choking devices. The #Safety and #Effectiveness of #OverTheCounter anti-choking #Devices have #Not been established; they are not #FDA #Approved or #Cleared. If you choose to use them, only use anti-choking devices after established choking protocols have failed. To read more aon this safety communication, please follow the link below. This safety communication provides: - Important recommendations for consumers, parents, and caregivers. - Recommendations for health care providers. - Background on the issue and the FDA’s actions to address the issue. - Instructions for reporting problems with anti-choking devices to the FDA.

This past week, we saw two allergenic-related recalls due to operational failures: one from a label and the other from a breakdown.

More operational failures that resulted in recalls. Check out the link below to learn more about recent recalls and what you can do to prevent these types of failures.

A robust label review process should be part of your new product introduction and label-receiving program. This, combined with a series of operator and quality checks within the facility, can dramatically reduce and possibly prevent recalls within your organization.

Is your organization at risk with products that are released into the marketplace? Check out this latest post on recalls that could have been prevented with proper finished product testing programs.

It’s Monday, and with a significant decline in recalls last week, organizations need to focus on their efforts from a Quality and Operations perspective. Having been in both quality and operations my entire career, it’s important to note that Recall and Failure Prevention are a collaboration and team effort from both disciplines. Companies that embrace this concept will produce higher-quality products with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than any other company.

!Video Alert! We have just published our video on Allergen PAL (Precautionary Allergen Labelling) In this video, we look into the importance of PAL, when it should be used, and how businesses can confidently manage allergen risks. Whether you're a food manufacturer, auditor, or consumer, this video provides valuable insights into: - Understanding PAL statements like "may contain peanuts" or "made in a facility that handles nuts." - When and why businesses should apply PAL. - The importance of rigorous cleaning, testing, and validation to avoid unnecessary PAL usage. - The legislative requirements under The Food Information Regulations 2014.
