Brewery Supplier Ingredient Recall
Sometimes the problem starts upstream. A maltster or packaging supplier recalls an ingredient, and you may have already brewed with it or sent finished beer out.
Example
How cover can respond in practice
A malt supplier recalls a lot over a contamination concern, and a brewery has already used it in three batches. The brewery needs to trace those batches, pull stock and notify customers. Recall cover may help, and the supplier may owe compensation.
