      En funci\u00f3n del tama\u00f1o de las instalaciones, el volumen de producci\u00f3n y la complejidad de los procesos, la duraci\u00f3n de la auditor\u00eda puede variar. Esto se confirmar\u00e1 con su empresa auditora.<\/p>\n

        If you are classified as Category I for Mc Donald’s, you are required to conduct an annual Unannounced GMP audit <\/strong>in addition to SQMS compliance.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        McDonald’s has divided food goods into three categories based on its food safety hazards, manufacturing volume, and brand recognition.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        While Category III products have the least potential brand risks, Category I<\/strong> products have the highest potential brand-associated risks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Algunos ejemplos de productos de la categor\u00eda I son la carne de vacuno, el pollo, el pescado, la carne sin pasteurizar, los ovoproductos, los productos frescos y congelados sin pasteurizar, el queso natural elaborado con leche cruda sin pasteurizar y los productos de panader\u00eda.<\/p>\n
