Having to deal with a food recall can be a real nightmare for any food distribution business, and it seems that nightmare is happening more and more frequently in recent years. Whether it results from E. coli in hamburger, salmonella on eggs, undisclosed allergens in baked goods, listeria in deli meat or any other cause, a food recall spells disaster for anyone in the business. A record number of bankruptcies have been filed in recent years as a result of recalls. One such bankruptcy was the Peanut Corporation of America, which folded after salmonella contamination left nine people dead and 691 sick. The Dole spinach recall in 2006 cost the spinach industry more than 350 million dollars. Any food distribution company that fails to protect itself from this kind of disaster is simply being foolish.
