How will the audit component of PQA Plus work?
Production sites receiving PQA Plus status will be entered into a pool from which a percentage of sites will be eligible for third-party audits. Audits are not scheduled to begin until a representative number of production sites achieve PQA Plus status. Enough sites will be audited each year to achieve a 99% confidence level that 95% of farms are in compliance with the care and well-being standards of the program.
