I'm wondering if there's anyone in ISFQN-Land who've been audited to the new SQF 7th Edition (who have been audited previously under the 6th Edition)? Big differences in the actual audit? I understand that there's no checklist and that the audit style itself is different from pre-July.
I'm also curious as to what people think of Reliance (the successor to QuickFire). I had big issues with QuickFire, but viewing a couple of webinars on the Reliance system it looks fairly harrowing as well (seems to be more alligned with the iCiX-type interface).
Any thoughts or advice?

I find it exciting - I absolutely love the new Edition 7.
Handling a conversion this week on-site at a client location from V6 to V7.
Reliance system is excellent as I am also an SQF Contract Auditor and drum roll... SQFI came out today with the new online Alchemy implementation training.
Contrary to your posting there is a checklist available and it was updated this week - and best of all it's still free.
And it is available under the document section at SQFI.com

Thanks GOC! I didn't know about the checklist. I'm printing it out now. I like that they put the Guidance info right on the checklist. Good stuff.
Thanks for the info GOC!

Just completed the audit last week and found it thorough but no surprises.
I think the hardest task was reorganizing our manual to the new module format. This is our second year into SQF and am getting more familiar with expectations and need to justify, assess and validate.
Can't say I love having an auditor kick at the foundations of our quality system, but its necessary and very valuable to continuous improving food safety

Congrats Bryan!
I take it you are Level 3?
