After how many consecutive certification cycles is an auditor rotated out for site audits?

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. Four

The correct answer is: Three

An auditor is rotated out for site audits after completing three consecutive certification cycles to ensure objectivity and impartiality in the audit process. This practice helps to mitigate any potential bias that could arise from an auditor becoming too familiar with the site, its processes, or staff over time. By changing auditors after three cycles, organizations maintain the integrity of the auditing process, which is essential for a reliable assessment of compliance with SQF standards. Regular rotation of auditors also fosters a diverse evaluation perspective, contributing to continuous improvement in food safety and quality management systems.
