Mr.Siripong Arunrattana, Chief Operating Officer - Livestock Business of CP Foods stated that the internal food safety audit and competent auditors play a vital role in ensuring that safe and hygienic food comply with global standards, thereby enhancing the company's credibility with customers and other stakeholders. The company has launched the "Smart IA-Internal Audit" project in accordance with international standard ISO 19011:2018 to enhance auditors' abilities, competence, and comprehensive knowledge of auditing techniques.
In addition, this will standardize the efficacy and precision of the internal food safety, quality and sustainability auditing procedures. As a preliminary step, the company was assigned to implement the program in the chicken and duck supply chain. This year, the integrated duck value chain will implement the program following the integrated poultry business in Korat, Thailand.
This project is a component of the CPF Food Standard, which aims to introduce a higher level of food safety, quality and sustainability throughout its value chain in order to establish worldwide consumers trust in food safety and quality of its sustainable products.
Under the "Kitchen of the World" initiative, CP Foods' Global Standard System Centre will continuously implement this program for three consecutive years to amplify skills and knowledge of internal auditors to become Smart Internal Auditor (Smart IA) aiming to maintain greater credibility with customers and its other stakeholders as well as to strengthen company's sustainability growth.
