Product recall: alert consumers quickly

An unsafe food product must be removed from shops and recalled from consumers as quickly as possible. CrisisRadar helps producers, NVWA and retailers to warn consumers and inform all parties immediately.

The scenario

What happens

During a routine inspection, it is discovered that a product contains an incorrect allergen that is not listed on the label. This could be dangerous for people with allergies. The product must be removed from the shelves as soon as possible, and consumers who have already bought it must be warned. At the same time, the manufacturer must inform retailers, report the issue to the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) and reach consumers via a warning. Every hour counts, as the product is already in people’s homes. If the message is unclear or arrives too late, customers’ health is put at risk and trust in the brand is damaged.
