Hi, I'm new to the forum and looking forward to learning much from all of the experienced members. I am the QFS Manager and SQF practitioner for our facility. I started 16 years ago as a bakers helper, eventually working into the Sanitition Foreperson position. A few years experience in sanitation, a residency course at AIB in the Little Apple, and wham I find myself charged with overseeing more programs than I could have ever imagined. There are many experienced QFS professionals in our company, but I will be tapping a greater pool of knowledge by being a member here.

We're glad you found it!  You have a ton of experience.   Sanitation is crucial.

There are a lot of bakery folks hanging around.

Thanks everyone. We scored a 96 with 4 minors on our 1st SQF level 2. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We have been BRC certified for 5 years so at least we had a leg up in GFSI. Thanks again for the welcomes.

Did you change from BRC to SQF or are you doing both? 

[CCP]

We have switched. Once our certificate is issued, we will be certified in both schemes for a little while this year.

Dear CCP,

 

May one ask why you switched, eg due to a change in customer requirements ?

Corporate decision. There was a segment of the company that were BRC before being purchased 5 years ago. Now all locations will be SQF.
