Questions
What is HARPS?
The Harmonised Australian Retailer Produce Scheme – a set of requirements used by the major Australian retailers on top of a GFSI-recognised or approved food safety certification.
Does Producepak replace Freshcare?
No. Freshcare is the certification; Producepak keeps the records the audit checks.
Can we run a mock recall during the audit?
Yes. Search a lot, PO or invoice and Producepak lists every source and customer, with QC results.
