Restaurant Brands International Vendor Audit

Does anyone have insight into restaurant brand international vendor audit?

I know a company I used to work for did work with BK (RBI owns them now). If you can pass a SQF or other GFSI benchmarked audit, you should be fine. 

No, we just got told we WILL be having an audit, I'm sure our SQF cert will be part of of it, but an NSF auditor is coming

general 3rd party audit but  watch for heavy looking into your recall/trace plan and allergen programs.  With 25,000 restaurants and cross-border transit they will also look closely at how your company complies with the various regulatory requirements of the countries that you will be shipping to.

CEO of the company put a new program in place back in 2020 for food safety, he appears to be committed to "safe quality food" not SQF, but I believe they may have used SQF as an example.

Scampi, several years ago I (well, my corporation) did a GMP audit for one of small Toronto restaurants. I audited them against O. Reg 493/17: Food Premises, as far as I remember. Those guys were going to sign a contract with Pierson airport for catering. Then, after the restaurant owner sent MY audit certificate to the customer, he was told that the audit should be done by a recognizable auditing/certifying body, like NSF, SGS, etc. After that, I don't know how that restaurant managed... 

Glenn nailed it. That was our experience with the audit (have not been with that company for a couple of years, so cannot speak to the new CEO policies). 

Thanks all

our particular product doesn't cross the border---Canada only so no worries there

Appreciate the insight
