Say we make a batch of a liquid food color and we come out with a few pounds extra. If we took this extra color, saved it, and added it to a different batch of the same finished product (where the liquid food color itself is the finished product just to clarify), would this constitute rework?
Rework definition is: Food, materials, and ingredients, including work-in progress that has left the normal production flow and requires action to be taken on it before it is acceptable for release and is suitable for reuse within the process.
My only issue is "action to be taken before it's acceptable for release". In this case, no action is technically taken or needed. It is just added to a separate identical batch and not altered in any way.
