Hello! 

The company that I work for has already been certified with SQF, but now they want to have several facilities to be organic manufacturing. Our company is mainly doing breadcrumbs and the consultant we have for Organic is telling us that we need to have a completely separate Paperwork for Organic even though we plan to run non-organic products after it. I saw another commentor on another post, state that they just had a section at the top of the paperwork to specific if the production is Organic or Non-organic. I see the arguments for both sides but I'm not sure if that is necessary. This was not expressly explained at the beginning of the process. 

 

Our organic certification is right around the corner on the 02/19. 

 

Please any advice is welcome!

It really doesn't matter what you think (sorry) but what is demanded by the CB and the scheme

so if they tell you that's what's required, then there are 2 options, do it that way or forgo altogether

 

you betcha you need CLEAR and sometimes separate paperwork for organic

 

you also need to use organic approved detergents and sanitizers

 

 

you need to mass balance inbound organic materials against outbound finished goods (which is very different than a trace)

 

it will also be a separate audit on a separate date

Your consultant is correct.

 

And I may add, with your 2/19 date being in 15 days I suggest  you push that off or be prepared to work non-stop - I suggest pushing the date into March.
