PrimusLabs contracted auditors are either employee auditors or subcontracted auditors who work for PrimusLabs on an as needed basis. Audit booking and billing is handled by PrimusLabs. Reports bear the PrimusLabs Logo and come with distinctive PrimusLabs yellow certificates.

Third party auditor network users utilize PrimusLabs auditing software to report on food safety audits which have not been contracted, booked or billed with PrimusLabs. While PrimusLabs software generates and stores the reports, the auditor or auditor’s company supplies any other materials, for example certificates.
