Good morning everyone,
I work for a company that sources raw agricultural, dry products from overseas suppliers. Some of these suppliers are in countries where the food safety standards are not super up to par with the US. As a result, many of these suppliers do not have any 3rd party certification. I want to work with those suppliers in getting some sort of 3rd party certification. I’m not familiar with standards besides SQF and BRC for processed ingredients… and I think it may be a stretch to require them to get BRC or SQF certification because these are raw agricultural, dry products. Do you have any recommendations on specific standard I should look into? Or do you think any food safety third party audit will do? Any GMP audit? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
