Each chain sets its requirements with its suppliers, usually through the buyer or the distributor. Before your first meeting, ask which audit or certification they accept (for example, a third-party audit or a GFSI-recognized certificate), what liability insurance and documents they need, and how they handle recalls. Keeping your records current and your food safety plan ready saves time with any chain.
