Product Recall Program

We have a formal, documented recall program that has been reviewed and approved by several state, federal and independent agencies. Lot numbers of all incoming and outgoing ingredients are recorded and tracked in numerous formats to assure ease and speed when tracing a recalled product in an emergency. Mock recalls are conducted semi-annually to test the effectiveness of the program.
