Hello everyone,
We are a small vegetable processing company working towards SQF Certification. To give a recap: we receive raw vegetables from our suppliers and for this I have developed the supplier approval program (register, specifications, questionnaire and food safety certificates), for packaging I have the register, specifications and certificate of conformance.
Now for contract services, I have a register, a brief description of service, frequency of their visit and any certificates/licenses they may require. I also wrote a contract that they will sign stating what is expected from them in regards to service and GMP's.
I am wondering if this is enough information? In particular, I am wondering what people require from their transportation companies? I got a bit confused on this section because the Supplier Approval Program includes services as well. So there is some overlap between the two sections.
Thank you all for your help. I have posted a few questions on this forum before and I am grateful for all the respondents! Since I am the only Food Safety rep at the company, it is nice to have a second opinion from time to time.
