Small farmer needs a 'Product Recall Policy'

Hello all,

A friend of mine has a small farm near me. He has finished classes that allows him to can his produce to sell as value added items, such as pickled okra, chow chow, canned tomatoes, pickles, etc.

The problem is that he has to file a "Product Recall Policy" with the FDA before he can legally sell the product. He was given a sample to go by, but it is geared more toward a multi-million dollar operation rather than a small family farmer.

Does anyone here have experience with this regulation, and can you tell me where I might find some sample policies that would apply to a small farm rather than the corporate giants?

Thanks!

Hugh
