What it helps you decide
Set a timed backward trace, forward trace, and quantity reconciliation.
Traceability readiness
Design a trace exercise your records can actually pass.
Set a timed reconciliation target for source lots, finished output, shipments, remaining stock, waste, and unexplained quantity.

Your numbers
Exercise scope and quantities
Use the filled example first. Then replace each field with a measured value or your best current estimate.
Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
A mock recall is evidence of practice—not regulatory certification.
Define roles, notification rules, escalation, record access, effectiveness checks, reconciliation tolerance, corrective action, and any jurisdiction- or customer-specific timing with qualified food-safety or compliance support.
