You need to be currently supplying McDonald’s to be eligible to join the SQMS program.

This verification audit can be delivered as:

1. A full audit of the SQMS requirements.
2. An addendum to GFSI benchmarks standards such as SQF.
3. For New/LTO suppliers, GFSI certification or use SQMS Sections 4, 5, and 6. For Category I suppliers, one annual unannounced GMP audit is required in addition to the SQMS compliance audit (total two audits).

According to the size of the facility, the production volume, and the complexity of the processes, your audit duration may vary. This will be confirmed with your auditing company.

Depending on the product you process and its inherent food safety risks, you may fall into one of the three different “Product Categories” established by McDonald’s, for which other auditing requirements may be applicable.
