Under FSMA, a Food Safety Plan must include hazard analysis, preventative controls, and which of the following?

• A. A Recall Plan
• B. A Pest Control Protocol
• C. A Marketing Plan
• D. A Product Label

Answer: (A)

FSMA requires a Food Safety Plan to include a recall plan in addition to hazard analysis and preventive controls. The recall plan provides a structured, documented approach for quickly removing or correcting adulterated products from the market if a hazard is identified or a preventive control fails. It typically outlines who is responsible, what actions to take, how to notify regulators and customers, steps for tracing and removing affected lots, and methods to verify that the recall was effective.

Pest control protocol, while important for overall sanitary conditions, is not a mandated part of the Food Safety Plan under FSMA. A marketing plan is unrelated to safety controls, and product labeling is governed by labeling regulations rather than the recall and prevention framework within the Food Safety Plan.
