The FDA published the final guidance for “Initiation of Voluntary Recalls Under 21 CFR Part 7, Subpart C” in March of 2022.
Nothing new here really, as the FDA has just finalized recommendations that companies make adequate preparations to operations in advance of when a recall may be needed (e.g., prepare and execute a recall communications plan). In addition to these preparations, the FDA recommends that companies consider preparing, maintaining, and documenting written procedures (in paper or electronic format) for initiating a recall and performing actions related to initiating a recall. Moreover, the document addresses how companies should develop a recall strategy and train personnel on executing a recall, as well as how companies should use adequate product coding.
