Act on a food recall
Find affected records, isolate stock and document the response.
Last updated September 12, 2026
- Confirm the alert, food, supplier, lot codes and scope using the authority or supplier's information.
- Find matching deliveries, ingredient links and products. Search results depend on the records the business entered.
- Stop using or selling affected food and isolate it. Record quantities, locations, disposal or return, and responsible people.
- Make the required supplier, authority or customer communications. Retain evidence, verify the outcome and document preventive actions.
Recording a recall in the app does not notify CFIA, a health authority or customers. Follow the actual alert and the business's recall responsibilities.
