Morning All,
We have an SQF Level 2 certification, and were recently re-audited. In the past this has not been an issue with previous auditor, but this year we had a new auditor, and he gave us a minor NC in our warehouse because we had non-food products stored with food products. We have limited room in our warehouse and sometimes we will mingle items with other parts of our business. We do recognize this is not a GMP, but take steps to minimize risk and train employees to recognize risk and minimize when we cannot segregate. This condition is not going to change anytime soon. My question is, I don't know how to address the NC to the certification body? I don't want to tell the auditor it will change and then next year he or someone else comes and sees the same condition we had this year. I could in the non-conformance report tell him we minimize risk, covering food products, looking for contamination sources, and the such. Not sure how to address?
