Has SQFI indicated if these guidance documents are a response to the frequency of non-compliant observations?

Hi G M,

There is no indication of that from the How To Guide Edition 9 Guidance Documents

The purpose of the SQF Guidance Document series is to assist sites with designing, developing, documenting, implementing, and maintaining an SQF Food Safety System using the SQF Food Safety or Quality Codes.

The guidance documents are topic-specific and provide direction on the intent of the Code requirements identified within the document. This encourages the user to look at the Code requirements as programs supporting a systems approach versus a checklist approach. Topic focused guidance also allows SQF to be more flexible and timelier in developing new guidance for additional system elements or emerging issues.

A little dated, but may still be of note: SQF Top 10 Non-Conformances and How to Avoid Them

Kind regards,

Tony
