Food Safety and Inspection Service 

Title: Voluntary Recalls of Meat and 

Poultry Products. 

OMB Control Number: 0583–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: The Food 

Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has 

been delegated the authority to exercise 

the functions of the Secretary as 

provided in the Federal Meat Inspection 

Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and 

the poultry Products Inspection Act 

(PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These 

statutes mandate that FSIS protect the 

public by ensuring that meat and 

poultry products are safe, wholesome, 

unadulterated, and properly labeled and 

packaged. A firm that has produced or 

imported meat or poultry that is 

adulterated or misbranded and is being 

distributed in commerce, may 

voluntarily recall the product in 

question. When a firm voluntarily 

recalls a product, FSIS will conduct a 

recall effectiveness check. 

Need and Use of the Information: In 

conducting a recall, the establishment 

will be asks to provide FSIS with some 

basic information, including the identity 

of the recalled product, the reason for 

the recall, and information about the 

distributors and customers of the 

product. FSIS will check on the 

effectiveness of the recall to ensure that 

all products subject to recall are 

accounted for. FSIS field personnel will 

use FSIS form 8400–4 A to determine 

(1) if the retail consignee received 

notification of the recall and (2) the 

amount of recalled products received. 

FSIS field personnel will also use FSIS 

form 8400–4 B to verify that product 

held by the retail consignee was 

properly disposed.
