Step 1: Issue Product Recall Notification
Purpose
To notify individual trading partners of the need to recall product within each (impacted) recall
jurisdiction.
Outcome
Each affected trading partner receives an authorized PRN that is tailored to their needs within the
specified recall jurisdiction. A product recall recipient operating in multiple recall jurisdictions will
receive individual PRN(s) for each recall jurisdiction.
Pre-Requisites
The need to issue a PRN must be approved internally within the issuing organization by an authorized
individual. This is usually an officer of the company. Recall issuers understand the unique information
needs of individual trading partners (i.e. product recall recipients).
Business Process Step Details
Step 1 is managed by the issuer of the recall and requires two sub-steps:
Step 1a Draft Product Recall Notification developed:
Product Recall Initiator completes a draft PRN providing global, commodity, recall jurisdiction-specific
and recipient-specific information.
The draft PRN is submitted to an authorized internal Product Recall Approver.
Step 1b Draft Product Recall Notification approved & issued:
The Product Recall Approver reviews the draft PRN and determines whether to approve for
distribution. Once approved, the Product Recall Approver determines the specific date & time the
PRN is issued.
