A mock recall helps you test your traceability system. In a mock recall, you contact one of your buyers and ask about a particular lot number or series of lot numbers. Be sure to mention that you are conducting a MOCK RECALL so they do not think it is a real recall. Your buyer should be able to tell you how much of the lot remains in their possession and how much has been sold to consumers or other buyers. This information should be documented and your production information should link to the mock recall. If you direct market, your mock recall may include contacting a set of your customers and asking them if they have any product remaining. This could be done through email, phone calls, or postal mail.
