10. EMS History
In early 2007, nearly 60 sites in Cargill Meat Solutions (beef, pork, case ready and turkey) set out to become ISO certified
We implemented our corporate template with the help of Malcolm Pirnie with workshops within each BU
By June 2008, the sites were certified by NSF.
We chose a corporate certification. WHY?

Internal Auditing and Management Review are the “HEART AND SOUL” of the check step
Can’t sustain an EMS without strong internal audits and value-added management reviews

Management Reviews
