From early 2010 all current ALDI suppliers who are certified to an accepted GFSI standard, such as SQF or BRCGS Global Food Standard, will be able to submit their reports to ALDI for review.
This review may remove the need for a full ALDI audit. However, Suppliers that have either SQF or BRCGS in place will be required to have a shortened audit for the specific ALDI Supplier requirements using an ALDI addendum. The need to conduct the ALDI addendum audit will be based on the products supplied to ALDI and the products risk assessment.
