Case study – food product recall

SafeGroup carried out a product recall for a national food chain that required the collection of food waste from 800 outlets across the UK. The key challenge – it had to be completed in just 72 hours.

Our emergency project team mapped circular routes across the UK taking in every outlet plus the nearest waste treatment facility. SafeGroup operatives began each shift at 4am to complete the recall on time.

At the end of each day, client outlets were contacted to make sure the collection had taken place. GPS tracking helped make sure every collection was recorded.

Successful outcome: the food recall was completed on time with all food waste treated through AD to create green energy
