Hi Guys
Can someone please shed some light on this if they can. We got audited and got a CAR for using a supplier who isn't GFSI accredited (they only have ISO). Now this supplier only supplies us egg trays/fillers (different names around the world).
I was under the impression that it's not necessary a direct contact as egg is still in a shell therefore it wouldn't be that critical to have a more stringent food certification compared to say a vacuum pack bag/liner which directly contacts a meat product. Can someone brief me on how to go about explaining this to an auditor as i don't think our supplier will be willing to get a Gfsi accreditation such as BRC, fssc or sqf at this stage just for us. We have done all the risk assessments & the likelihood of any contamination (micro, phyical, chemical, allergen) has been deemed as low.
