Supplier Due Diligence

Who made this food, what assurance they hold, and whether you have evidence on file. A vendor approval is not the same as a product assessment. This is not a scored audit matrix.

Answer Yes, No, N/A, or Not sure – I need some help. Use Add note only when you need to explain something.

Guidance only — not MPI clearance and not an approval to import. You remain responsible for your own importer records under the Food Notice. Need help? Email help@mockrecalls.co.nz.

    This checklist is guidance only. It is not MPI clearance and it does not mean the food is approved for import. You remain responsible for your own importer records.

    Who you are dealing with

    Role of the overseas party you buy from

    Manufacturer or processor legal name (if different from the supplier field above)

    Key contact name and email / phone

    Food safety assurance they say they hold

    Certificate or listing expiry (if known)

    Evidence status for this supplier

    1. Identity

    1.1 I know who actually manufactured or processed this food (not only the trader’s trading name)


    1.2 The manufacturing site address matches the documents I hold


    1.3 I can reach a person at the manufacturer or supplier if something goes wrong


    2. Assurance documents

    2.1 A current certificate or official listing is on file, or I have marked N/A with a reason in the notes


    2.2 The scope of that assurance covers this product type and this site


    2.3 I have a way to notice when the certificate or listing expires


    3. Vendor versus this product

    3.1 I understand that accepting this supplier does not, by itself, finish the product risk assessment


    3.2 I have a way to hear about problems (complaints, withdrawals, or official action) that would change my view of this supplier


    3.3 Any gaps in evidence are written down so they can be closed


    Continue with Product risk assessment for the food itself, and HRI / clearance if clearance documents may be needed.

    Need a hand with this one? Choosing “Not sure” or flagging a gap does not fail the product — it means a person should look at it before you rely on the record.

    Email help@mockrecalls.co.nz and we can review this with you. Completing the form still emails you a summary to keep.
