SQF Quality Surveillance Audit

Hello,

we recently had our SQF audit. We passed the Food Safety portion, however we are under surveillance for the quality portion. Our surveillance is in August. We are a food packaging company, specializing in netting, flexible packaging, and shrink but we also have a food contact area of our plant where we manufacture films with a spice coating. I have never been part of a surveillance audit where they only focus on Quality, and not the food safety. Can anyone tell me what the key differences are? Will there be a plant tour, etc? 

thanks!

Do you have a full copy of the audit that was done?

If so, look at the Quality section - that is what the audit will focus on.

Specifically look at the fall down areas - those are key for reinspection.

Do not be surprised if the Auditor looks at other areas as well.

I would be prepared as if the Audit was being completely done over again.

From my experience with surveillance audits, is that it is treated exactly the same as a normal audit. While focusing a little more on your NCs you had that made you get a surveillance audit.
