How many calendar days does a site have to close out all major non-conformities from the last day of the certification audit?

  1. 15 days

  2. 30 days

  3. 45 days

  4. 60 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

The requirement for closing out all major non-conformities after the certification audit is set at 30 calendar days. This timeframe allows organizations to address significant issues that could impact food safety and quality. The 30-day period is crucial for ensuring that corrective actions are implemented effectively and are not just temporary fixes. This timeframe also underscores the importance of timely responses to audit findings to maintain compliance with SQF standards. Organizations are encouraged to prioritize addressing major non-conformities, as failing to resolve these within the specified period could jeopardize their certification status. By adhering to the 30-day requirement, companies demonstrate their commitment to maintaining high standards of food safety and quality in their operations.
