Which of the following describes what must be included in a facility recall plan?

• A. A monthly inventory audit
• B. A safety drill schedule
• C. Written procedures for notifying authorities, distributors, and customers, and for removing affected products from commerce.
• D. A marketing plan

Answer: (C)

The essential idea is that a facility recall plan must lay out how to respond to a product issue by coordinating communication and action to pull affected items from the market. The best choice fits this because it specifies written procedures for notifying authorities, distributors, and customers, and for removing affected products from commerce. This is the core to a recall: know who to tell, when to tell them, and how to physically halt distribution and remove products.

The other options don’t address those immediate, actionable steps needed in a recall. A monthly inventory audit is about general stock control, not recalling products. A safety drill schedule relates to preparedness but doesn’t outline how to conduct a recall. A marketing plan has no relevance to the public‑health–or safety‑driven actions required during a recall.
