Measures of the effectiveness and efficiency of meat and poultry recalls are proposed including the proportion of recall product retrieved (recovery rate), time to complete a case, and the ratio of these variables and the statistical evidence is examined. Regression models suggest no significant improvement in the recall process over time or following the PR/HACCP implementation. The key result from this research is that one way to improve the recall process is to discover problems early. The sooner problems are found, the more likely that affected products are recovered and the lower the time to complete the recall.
