SQF Edition 10 Is Here. Here's What Changed.
The changes in SQF Edition 10 aren't administrative, they carry audit consequences. Core clauses now carry heavier scoring weight. Change management is a formal program requirement. Environmental monitoring needs a documented, risk-based approach. And the audit blackout window? It's tripled.
Use this checklist to cover the five areas your auditor will scrutinize — organized by clause, so you and your team know exactly where you stand.
What's inside:
- Know what auditors expect from leadership and how to document food safety culture before they ask
- Understand exactly what your change management records need to show under the new clause
- See what a risk-based environmental monitoring program looks like to an auditor
- Make sure your CAPA documentation closes the loop the way Edition 10 requires
- Know which clauses carry the heaviest scoring weight — so you know where to focus first
We've gone from less than favorable scores to a 98 on our SQF audit.
