I have a convoluted situation, as if no else does. We are looking into repackaging a GRAS, low risk product, from 50# bags to smaller containers for resale (food grade). Our current SQF certification is for FSC 19 & FSC 33, but will be adding FSC 26 with our next audit due to bringing in products we will be simply storing and distributing from other manufacturers. From what I've gathered, we will need to add FSC 25 for repackaging of product not manufactured on site. Here's where it gets interesting:
1. The product would not have our company name on it, but our sister company, who does not have any type of food grade certification, but is housed in the same building as our food grade plant. We are looking into modifying a part of the plant to reduce cross-contamination, etc. Do we need to add the sister company to our scope/documentation or have a separate cert with their name?
2. If we wanted to do a test run to see how the market will respond to the product, we will need a haccp plan, documentation, label requirements, etc. before doing so, correct? (verification of what I think we have to do).
Thank you in advance - this little project is a new adventure for me.
