Hi tfaisal,
Further to jfrey123’s post, your certification body and SQFI are required to be listed in your essential contacts lists and this is in the SQF Food Safety Code: Food Manufacturing, Edition 9, PART A: Implementing and Maintaining the SQF Food Safety Code: Food Manufacturing:
Step 15: Changes to Site SQF Requirements
15.6 Notification of Recalls and Regulatory Infringements
If your site initiates a food safety event that requires public notification, such as a Class l or Class ll recall or receives a regulatory warning letter, you must notify your certification body and SQFI in writing at foodsafetycrisis@sqfi.com within twenty-four (24) hours of the event.
Your certification body and SQFI are required to be listed in your essential contacts lists as defined in system element 2.6.3 of the SQF Food Safety Code: Food Manufacturing.
Your certification body is required to notify SQFI within a further forty-eight (48) hours of any action it intends to take to ensure the integrity of the certification.
To clarify, 2.6.3 is Product Withdrawal and Recall (Mandatory)
Kind regards,
Tony
