Cleaning and Sanitation Procedures and Form Template Bundles

Overview

Cleaning and Sanitation is one of the Core Clauses under the SQF Edition 10, meaning a minor will result into 2 points deducation and a major will result into a 7 points deduction. Now, the designation into core clauses isn’t just because there is a lot of findings in this clauses but rather, cleaning and sanitation issues can attract pest and be the cause of Class 1 and Class 2 recall. What will happened? Your auditor will walk your facility, check your pre-operational records, review your chemical approvals, and verify your master cleaning schedule is being followed. Building the right programs helps you to comply plus to prevent this issues. Our SQF Cleaning and Sanitation Procedures Bundles helps you get started in many ways but most importantly, leading you through the right path. We expect to be able to deliver prefill template, instead of generic template, which does very little and often, burden the users to replace the company name and responsibility etc before you can start using the template.
