Training content: Pre-crisis management
1. Identify risks early – figures, data, facts
- Typical main risks for food distributors
- Contaminants, residues, foreign bodies – clear distinction between terms
- Keep an eye on early warning systems and regulatory developments
- Risk assessment based on toxicological parameters (e.g. ADI, ARfD)
2. Legal basics, compact and practical
- Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002 (Art. 14 & 19)
- Food and Feed Code (LFGB)

- Contaminants Regulation (EU 2023/915)
- Regulation (EC) 2073/2005 (microbiological criteria)
- Information and reporting obligations towards authorities and certifiers
Practical focus: When is there actually a recall obligation – and when is there not?
3. Complaint ≠ Recall
Not every deviation warrants a recall. We consider:
- Microbiological findings
- Labeling defects
- foreign body
- Exceedances of limit values
Decision logic:
- Is there a health risk?

- Is the product not marketable?
- Traffic ban, withdrawal or recall?
- Risk-based overall assessment
Exercise: Evaluation of a realistic case study
4. Mastering interactions with authorities with confidence
- Preparation in "quiet times"„
- Typical process of contacting a government agency
- Rights and obligations of the company
- Do's and Don'ts for First Contact
- Internal and external communication strategy
- Dealing with time pressure
With practical examples from real conversation situations.
5. Workshop: A critical case?
In groups, you will work on a realistic scenario, e.g.:
- Detection of a pesticide residue
- Undeclared ingredient
- Industrial customer complaint
Task:
- Assess risk
- Define action
- Preparing communication with authorities or customers
- Provide a professional justification for the decision
