Well another recall from a major producer, Michael Foods, Inc., was announced this month. Michael Foods is a $2B processor of mainly egg products. This recall has some interesting side notes.

1. They use  a lot # identifier that is not a contiguous number thereby forcing them to increase the recall scope.
2. Inside industry sources have told me that a very large Food Service Retailer that uses their products in their breakfast menu was so concerned about the recall that they are seriously considering instituting their own Food Safety standards for their vendors to comply with so they can prevent these recalls in the future.

Well guys #2 is real bad because no only do you have FDA,USDA,and SQF standards to comply with, major Food Service retailers that create their own standards will play another tune you'll have to dance to.

TRACEABILITY AND RECALL: DO IT NOW OR PAY LATER, MAYBE WITH YOUR BUSINESS !!!!!
