How are audits conducted?
Our Single Food Audit Pack audits are conducted by a multi-skilled auditor team qualified to be lead auditors for all the relevant food safety standards. The auditor team assesses the management systems against the ISO 22000 and IFS standards within a single audit for every visit (initial assessment, surveillance and renewal audits).
If your organisation is already IFS certified, the ISO 22000 audit can be combined with the existing visit and cover the multiple audit needs with a single audit. Subsequent single audits are then carried out at the agreed interval.
