Legal and compliance
Food safety and recall plans, kept current.
Where the FDA preventive controls rule covers your facility, the plan is written down, reviewed on a schedule, and backed by a recall plan. We help you organize the documents and the dates. A food safety professional prepares the plan itself.
What the rule text says
Two dates and one plan to know
Read on the regulation text on 29 Oct 2026. Your consultant confirms how it applies to you.
Reanalysis
- At least every 3 years. Reanalyze the food safety plan as a whole at least once every 3 years, and sooner after a significant change, new hazard information, an unexpected food safety problem, or a control found ineffective. (21 CFR 117.170)
Recall plan
- What it covers. For food with a hazard requiring a preventive control, keep a written recall plan that assigns who notifies direct customers, notifies the public when needed, checks the recall worked, and disposes of the recalled food. (21 CFR 117.139)
Traceability
- FSMA 204. Extra records for foods on the FDA Food Traceability List; FDA compliance date July 20, 2028. See FSMA 204 traceability.
What we do
How we help
The paperwork and the calendar, not the food safety judgment.
Organize
- Plan binder. One place for the plan, its records and its review dates.
- Reminders. A reminder before each reanalysis date and each registration renewal.
Prepare
- Recall contact tree. Who calls whom, with your customer list kept current.
- Mock recall worksheet. A dry run to time how fast you can trace a lot.
Bring in
- A food safety professional. To write or reanalyze the plan itself.
- Your own attorney. If a recall or a customer claim raises legal questions.
How it works
Who does what
We provide the knowledge, templates and checklists. You review your own contracts, and professionals you choose and pay give the advice.
We provide
- What usually applies. A checklist for your stage, products and states, with the agency source for each item.
- Templates. Contract, policy and website-page templates with plain notes on each clause, for you and your attorney to adapt.
- The calendar. Renewal and review dates in one place, with reminders.
Your own attorney does
- Reviews legal documents, if you ask. Contracts, policies and anything you will sign or publish. You are responsible for that review, and you choose and pay the attorney directly.
- Answers legal questions. Advice comes from the attorney you choose and pay, not from us. We do not hire or bill an attorney for you.
Others do
- Your own CPA or enrolled agent. Tax elections, payroll tax, sales tax and returns. You choose and pay them directly.
- You or a food safety consultant. Agency registrations and filings, and your food safety plan.
- An insurance broker. Product liability and recall cover.
