A container returning with recalled product should not mix with normal returns. Link product lot and container identity.

Separate container states

Keep quarantine status current through transport, holding, receipt and cleaning.

Four working fields

  • Recall code
  • Product lot and container ID
  • Handover record
  • Pending decision

Daily record

Use a separate route or designated area; record handover location and time. Assign cleaning and product decisions to separate authorized steps.

Quarantine does not mean product disposal; track status until the final decision.
