You have a HARPC based HACCP Plan, a Food Safety Plan, a fully functional, validated Food Safety Management System. You may even be BRC or SQF Certified. But what about your Ingredient and Packaging Supply Chain? Of course you have supplier specifications for goods and services. You even have an “Approved Supplier Registry”, which is accompanied by an accredited 3rd party audit certificate of food safety compliance. But remember, the ingredients being added to build YOUR BRAND, have a direct impact on your brand reputation. Why not add a little SAS “Supplier Auditing Services” to your program?
