What constitutes a critical / major / minor CAR?
Any areas of non-compliance with the food safety program or legislative requirements identified during an audit may result in a critical, major or minor Corrective Action Request (CAR) being issued. Each type of CAR has a point score attached to it. The accumulated total of these points determines the audit rating achieved by the business and thus affects the frequency of subsequent audits. The point score for each type of CAR is listed below.
