Hi, my name is Garet. I am responsible for the supply chain at my company. We are a packaging decorating company (printer) for both direct contact and indirect contact for food and beverage packaging. We are on our journey to become SQF Certified. I am not responsible for overall certification, however I have taken on the responsibility of leading compliance for Product Development, SQF Code Sections 2.3.1.1-2.3.1.7, and Suppliers, Contract Service Providers & Manufacturers SQF Code Sections 2.3.3.1 - 2.3.3.2. The main area that I need assistance on is really defining the flow for a "new" product. Is a new product a new part number that uses all existing and approved materials and process, just a change in graphics, or, is a new product using a new material and/or new process? Thanks.
Garet
