Build Recall Readiness. Protect Your Brand. Scale with Confidence.
 
The Recall Plan & Tracing System is a practical, implementation-ready toolkit designed to help food and product brands prepare for recalls before they happen.
 
In many jurisdictions, including DEC wholesale permitting, a documented recall plan is a required part of the approval process. This system helps you meet that requirement while also building the operational structure needed to protect your brand, satisfy regulators and retailers, and scale with confidence.
 
More than just templates, this package walks you through how recall readiness, traceability, batch management, and recall practice work together in real operations.
