BRCGS 3.7.2 - Does a supplier have to have a HARA/HACCP to be an approved supplier through a questionnaire?
3.7.2 Does a supplier approved by a questionnaire have to have a HARA/HACCP program? In reading the Guidelines, I see nothing that says they have to have it. They just say the questionnaire has a scope of HARA.
I'm also confused by the clause and BRCGS' intepretation. To avoid silly debates with auditors, my company makes a universal questionnaire which includes such HARA/HACCP item. While sending it out to a supplier needing no HARA/HACCP (like ink producer), we tell them to leave a N/A (not applicable) mark on that part.
Hi Beutiophile, you took the right decision.
