The Woolworths Quality Assurance (WQA) Standard has been replaced by the Supplier Excellence Program (excluding pet food & soft goods) which is aimed at reducing auditing complexity associated with supplying Own Brand and Fresh Food products to Woolworths. The Supplier Excellence Program replaces the WQA program, which is a compliance requirement for suppliers under Woolworths’ Vendor Trading Terms (see clause 3 of Part B, General Terms).
