Field Alert Report (FAR)

Details

This is a United States specific reporting duty that falls only on the application holder, and the 3 working day clock from receipt of the information runs regardless of whether a recall follows. It covers two branches: incidents in which the product or its labelling could be mistaken for another, and bacterial contamination, a significant chemical or physical change, or a distributed batch failing specification. The corpus repeatedly shows information about bacterial contamination received but no report filed within the deadline, so check the date the complaint or test result was known, the date the report was filed, and what was done in between.
