SUPPLIER ASSESSMENT SUPPORT
Food Quality Document Request
Tell STAR FOODS which specification, certificate copy or technical clarification your purchasing team needs for a named product and purpose.
SUPPLIER ASSESSMENT SUPPORT
Identify the document and the decision
A food quality document request should name the record your assessment needs. Specify whether you require a product specification, ingredient declaration, certificate copy or clarification of a particular record.
Include the product and pack when the request concerns an item. For a company-level assessment, name the standard, entity or scope your approval process needs reviewed.
Use a concise document checklist
- Requested document type and any required revision.
- Product, preparation and pack.
- Intended market or customer approval purpose.
- Specific questions about scope, dates or identity.
- Any purchasing timeframe relevant to your review.
A generic request for “all certificates” can leave the actual approval criteria unclear. Name the standards or evidence your business requires.
Check scope and dates before relying on a copy
The supplied HACCP, ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 copies contain displayed validity dates that require clarification. Ask for current records or an explanation appropriate to your assessment.
A document request does not establish that a particular certificate or test report is available. The team must confirm the records relevant to your proposed supply.
