Hi,
I just want to know how others people deal with this point of Quality Code of SQF (2.4.4.1). We are from Canada (meat plan) and we have some suppliers from new zealand and USA. They are not certificat for quality code but they have BRC or SQF certificat.
If you have suggestion for close this NC for an audit ... I will be happy to read you.
Thank you
