I have a question regarding Management of outsourced processing.
Actually we are sauce manufacturer certified by BRC and IFS. Now we want to do new product where we will buy noodle from our supplier and pack together with our sauce in unit box (instant noodle product).
Will this consider as outsourced product? As we only buy instant noodle from them and the packaging using our brand. For my understanding, we just put under supplier control.
I hot ask the same question to BRC & IFS auditor. Both has different answer, BRC auditor said just declare as exclusion from our scope (actually our scope only mention about sauces not noodle) while IFS auditor said must declare outsourced product.
This is my 1st posting. Really need someone help me as I'm stuck with this issue.
I'm sorry if my English not so good.
