All 8 Documented Cases
Recall-Related Compliance Failures & Regulatory Penalties
Estimated AUD 10,000β50,000 per non-compliance finding plus legal costs; recalls without proper batch traceability can cost AUD 500,000β2,000,000 in product destruction, logistics, and customer compensation.Failure to maintain compliant recall traceability systems under AS5812 results in regulatory notices, audit findings, and enforcement action. State-level food safety authorities (e.g., DairySafe Victoria, FSANZ) can issue infringement notices for systems that cannot rapidly trace product to customers (trace-forward) or to suppliers (trace-back).
Quality Assurance System Non-Compliance & Manufacturing Standard Violations
1β3% of production COGS; AUD 30,000β150,000+ annually (estimated for mid-sized manufacturer); potential loss of SFMCA/FIAAA membership (reputational damage)Ingredients sourced from suppliers must conform to the strictest applicable standard (APVMA GMP > AAFCO > EU/US standards). Failure to verify supplier QA systems or ingredient batch traceability results in recalls, rework, customer compensation, or loss of membership in industry bodies (SFMCA, FIAAA).
Expensive Product Recalls Due to Inadequate Lot Tracking
AUD 500,000β2,000,000 per recall event; estimated 1.5β3% of annual revenue for manufacturers with slow traceability systems.Poor lot tracking forces manufacturers to recall entire production runs or wider customer bases than necessary, multiplying logistics costs, product destruction, and customer compensation. Each day of delay in recall identification costs additional product to be distributed to customers, increasing liability and recall scope.
Manual Recall Administration & Lot Documentation Delays
AUD 8,000β15,000 per recall event (40β60 hours @ AUD 200/hour loaded cost); estimated 2β4 events per year = AUD 16,000β60,000 annually.Regulatory recall protocols require rapid compilation of affected batch details, customer distribution records, and communication lists. Manual processes (spreadsheets, email searches, paper records) require dedicated staff to work through production history, match lot codes to customer shipments, and verify delivery locationsβoften 40β60 hours per recall.
