HACCP Audit and FSMS Internal Audit
Hi all,
Our company is currently doing its ISO 22000 documentation and certification.
Currently the company operates without HACCP in place.
I would like to ask if there should be a need of a different/separate audit checklist and procedure for HACCP and Internal Audit of the FSMS?
regards,
Adrian
