Talk:Rework (electronics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am keen to see started a page on Wikipedia on the word "rework" as a term used in the food manufacturing industry. It means the re-use of left-over batches of product into other runs of (sometimes completely different) product.

It is the apparent reason behind some allergen warnings ("This product may contain trace amounts of ...") - food manufacturers are not just covering themselves legally. There may legitimately be some left over fish in your peanut butter!

I'm not sure how different countries manage rework practices with food labeling laws.

Rework practices cause some products, that are otherwise ok, to lose certification under kosher, halal, vegetarian (and the like) regimes.

While food safety laws govern the quality of rework, it would be interesting to discuss how enforceable such laws are, given 'rework' is an inherent unknown.
