Supplier Audits — Quality Assurance Across Your Supply Chain

On-site and remote supplier qualification audits that verify your suppliers meet your quality requirements — and give you the documented evidence to prove it.

Assess Our Supplier Program View Audit & Inspection Services

Your product quality is only as good as your supply chain. Ingredient adulteration, contamination, and quality failures at the supplier level have triggered some of the most significant food safety and pharmaceutical quality events in recent history. FDA holds manufacturers responsible for the quality of their suppliers — and the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) and supplier qualification requirements under cGMP make that responsibility explicit. Tomorrow's Crop conducts supplier audits that provide documented, evidence-based assessment of supplier quality — not just a completed checklist.

What We Do

A detailed breakdown of our capabilities in this practice area.

On-Site Supplier Audits

On-site supplier qualification audits conducted at supplier facilities — assessing quality systems, manufacturing controls, documentation, and compliance with your quality requirements and applicable regulations.

Remote Supplier Assessments

Remote supplier assessments using questionnaires, document review, and virtual facility tours — providing a cost-effective qualification option for lower-risk suppliers or geographically distant facilities.

FSVP Compliance Programs

Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) compliance programs for food importers — including hazard analysis, supplier verification activities, and FSVP documentation that meets 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart L requirements.

Approved Supplier Programs

Design and implementation of approved supplier programs — including supplier qualification criteria, audit schedules, performance monitoring, and approved supplier list management.

Supplier Corrective Action

Management of supplier corrective action requests (SCARs) — issuing SCARs for identified deficiencies, evaluating supplier responses, and verifying corrective action effectiveness.

Co-Manufacturer Qualification

Qualification audits for contract manufacturers and co-packers — assessing their quality systems, manufacturing capabilities, and compliance with your product-specific requirements.

Supplier Risk Assessment

Supplier risk assessment programs that prioritize audit resources based on supplier criticality, product risk, and supplier performance history — ensuring that your audit program focuses on the highest-risk suppliers.

Supplier Development

Supplier development programs that help key suppliers improve their quality systems and compliance posture — protecting your supply chain while building long-term supplier relationships.

How We Work

01

Supplier Risk Assessment

We assess each supplier's risk profile — considering ingredient criticality, supplier history, regulatory status, and geographic location — to prioritize audit resources appropriately.

02

Audit Planning

We develop an audit plan for each supplier — defining the scope, criteria, and approach based on the supplier's risk profile and your qualification requirements.

03

Audit Execution

We conduct the audit — on-site or remotely — using a systematic approach that covers quality systems, manufacturing controls, documentation, and compliance with applicable requirements.

04

Audit Report

We prepare a comprehensive audit report that documents findings, assesses compliance, and provides a qualification recommendation — with specific corrective action requirements for identified deficiencies.

05

SCAR Management & Follow-Up

We manage corrective action requests for identified deficiencies — evaluating supplier responses and verifying corrective action effectiveness before approving the supplier.
