A recall order may require the person, or the persons of a class, that is bound by the order to disclose to the public or to a class of persons specified in the order, in a manner so specified, any one or more of the following:
the particular food or type of food to be recalled or disposed of;
the reasons why the food is considered to be unsafe;

procedures for disposing of the food.
A person who is required by a recall order to conduct a recall of any food must give written notice to the relevant authority of the completion of the recall as soon as practicable after that completion.
A person who is bound by a recall order is liable for any cost incurred by or on behalf of the relevant authority in connection with the recall order and any such cost is taken to be a debt due to the relevant authority from that person.
In any proceedings for the recovery of the debt, a certificate signed by the relevant authority stating the amount of any costs and the manner in which they were incurred is evidence of the matters certified.
