We have sen tour document for our desk audit and now we have a month to fix all Non Comformance, but my question is if we add new clients during this time, would someone know whats the down fall. For example in our scope we only have down meat, bread, fish, vegetables, hamburgers, and strawberrys, and this new client is bringing in ice cream. Basically my question is ( Is it okay for my facility to have new clients while we are in the middle of our audit) we are doing Module 2 and 12 for storage and distribution. We do not open boxes in no way, all we do is store clients products in our freezer.

 

I greatly appreciate it.

Hi Gomez89,

I think if your certification agency is happy to issue letter of verification / guarantee that you will get certificate than it should be all right..

 

Kind regards

The idea is to always have new customers coming in - regardless of being in process for SQF cert or not.

 

Not sure why your scope was set up that way as it locks you into a very narrow focus.

 

See if  you can change it to:

 

Various Meat and Fish Proteins

Various Vegetables & Fruit

Various Breads 

Various Ice Cream & Desserts

 

etc.

 

You will have to amend any associated documents in your SQF system - but doing this willl remove the blinders and open you up to world of storage possibilites.
