Standard ?

Something like this? (We're FSSC 22000)

Do you send questionnaires to your supplier for supplier approval?

Then you can include on one of the check item if they have written program and procedure in-place for food fraud and food defense.

I just started in this company about 4 months ago , to be honest i don't understand very well it.

I don't have any evidence of check list to my suppliers .. i just a have a matrix where the component or ingredient is evaluated for food fraud or food defense vulnerability ..

I have the following information from my ingredient & packaging material suppliers:

Letter of Guarantee

GFSI or 3rd party audit certificate (NOTE: in case they don't have any, I've sent them Supplier Evaluation questionnaire to complete)

Kosher certificate

Halal certificate or Halal compliance letter, if applicable

Organic cert. & Organic product summary, if applicable

Non-GMO status statement/certificate

Written Food Fraud Prevention program

In addition, all incoming ingredients are supported with COAs for each lot

Don't forget to make sure all your ingredients have specifications, including physical/biological/chemical characteristics, nutrition and allergen info, storage conditions, shelf life, country of origin, etc.
