Chelsea — Build Your SQF Edition 10 Policy

Muse Tech Consulting — Food Safety · Storage & Distribution · SQF Edition 10

Build your Edition 10 policy with Chelsea

Answer a few questions about your site. I’ll build your Edition 10 Storage and Distribution food safety policy (Module 2 + Module 12) that you can edit and make your own. Anything you skip stays as a yellow field to fill later.

Hi again! Let's build your Edition 10 food safety system together. First, what's your company's legal name? *
Great. What do you call the site or facility this system covers? *
What's the street address for your site? *
What's the best work email to reach you? *
What products do you store or distribute? Pick all that apply. *
Which temperature zones do you have at your site? *
What's your cooler set point?
And your freezer set point?
Which allergens are in the products you handle? This shapes the 2.8.1 allergen section of your policy. *
What languages do your people use on the floor? Your policy and signage will be posted in these. *
Who is your Senior Site Manager? Name and title, please. They sign the food safety policy. *
Who is your primary SQF Practitioner? If you haven't named one yet, that's okay. Leave it blank and it stays as a field to fill. SQF does require one before your audit.
And your substitute Practitioner?
Which certification body audits you?
Do you have a current SQF certificate number?
When does that certificate expire?
When do you expect your first Edition 10 audit? Edition 10 audits start no earlier than January 2, 2027.
Anything else on site that is out of scope? Module 10 packhouse and on-site processing are already excluded.
Where do you physically keep product that is on hold? *
Which role is the only one allowed to release product from hold? *
How do you rotate stock? *
Where are your food safety records kept? *
How long do you keep records? Two years is a common minimum.
What's your target time to finish a mock trace?
What share of recorded temperature checks should be in spec?
How often are thermometers and scales calibrated? *
If your water supply fails, what is the backup?
What rule governs return to work after vomiting or diarrhea?
Which root cause method will you use for corrective actions? *
Last one! What's the effective date for this system? *

Your document is a starting point. Review every section, make it match how your site really works, and have your Senior Site Manager sign it.
