the particular food or type of food to be recalled or disposed of;

A person who is required by a recall order to conduct a recall of food must give notice to the chief executive of the completion of the recall as soon as practicable after the completion.

A person who is bound by a recall order is liable for any cost incurred by or on behalf of the chief executive in connection with the recall order and that cost is taken to be a debt due to the chief executive from the person.

In proceedings for the recovery of the debt, a certificate signed by the chief executive stating the amount of any costs and the way in which they were incurred is evidence of the matters certified.
