Can you imagine all companies having to test each and every supplier ingredient shipped in before using it?
Yes I can. Our company does that as part of normal quality control; we call it incoming material inspection.
In the first link Purine claims that there was evidence in the suppler documents submitted to the court by BB indicated the ingredients contained by-product meal.
“Blue Buffalo now claims it had no way of knowing the bags contained byproduct meal. A manufacturer is responsible for knowing what’s in its product, and a simple audit of its supply chain would have revealed what we discovered after reviewing the documentation,” Schopp said.
Supplier audit is also something our company does as part of our quality system.
