Course Details:

In recent years the North American food and beverage industry has seen a steady upward movement towards outsourcing and increasing range of products and raw materials. Multiple sourcing has become a common feature within the North American food and beverage industry and has been beneficial for the manufacturer/ processor in most cases. Given this reality, it is extremely important to be aware of the Supplier Quality Assurance (SQA) protocol, to meet the recognized requirements and establish a reliable supplier base.
