Below are some of the questions captured from today's webinar.
I will ask Steve to follow-up when he gets a moment.
Chera
I'm wondering if there's any good ideas out there which would increase prevention based aspects in inspection. To me it makes complete sense on a business basis to have prevention based control, but how do we implement that on the regulatory/inspection side? I'm an inspector, and completely believe in prevention over reaction, but it seems the nature of inspection (as indicated in the presentation) is generally reactive in nature. (I re-posted this as I didn't check off Question)

Audit certificate is not enough - request the complete audit - see where there weaknesses are and what C/A's they take.

Are there established tools that companies can utilitize to help develop a comprehensive questionnaires instead of developing the tools in house. Of course the tools would need to be changed for each business and their brand products

We do request for audit certificates and we ask our suppliers to complete a supplier questionnaire. Questions in this questionnaire helps us analyse the risks of such a supplier. Customer complaints is also an important element that can be used to evaluate a supplier.

I think there needs to be balance between Risk Assement and Inspection becuase you could have the most comprehensive Risk Assessment tools but if you do not check if they are actually working, then it does not make sense...due dellige nce is important

With globalization, companies tend to source for their ingredients from all over the globe. Apart from audit certificate what is the most effective way to identify and manage the risk of a potential supplier?
