Pursuant to Article 8 of the Circular 17/2021/TT-BNNPTNT (takes effect from 02/02/2022) stipulating general requirements for recalling unsafe food in Vietnam as follows:
- Any facility prescribed in Clause 1 Article 2 of this Circular shall establishment its unsafe food (outgoing consignment) recall procedures including the following contents:
+ Develop food recall plans (schemes) according to its actual activities of product production, trading, and distribution;
+ Test the plans; evaluate their effectiveness; revise, supplement, and approve food recall plans for them to take effect;
+ Annually or irregularly inspect, evaluate the effectiveness of the approved food recall plan.
- Procedures for recall and handling of food:
+ Receive the recall and/or handling request;
+ Evaluate the necessity of the recall and handling;
+ Make a recall plan (according to the approved and effective sample plan) and present it to the head of the facility for consideration for approval;
+ Implement the recall according to the approved plan;
+ Apply measures for handling unsafe food according to Article 13 of this Circular;
+ Make a report on the recall result and how to handle the recalled consignment, and store documents. If the recall affects facilities in the chain of food production and trading, make and send a report to the competent authority;
+ If the recalled consignment has already been distributed and consumed on a large scale, recall it as quickly as possible in order to minimize risks to consumers’ health and lives. If the recalling facility does not have the ability to handle or recall all of the unsafe food, make and send a report to the competent authority for support.
