Egyptian Supplier Risk Scorecard
Last updated: 13 July 2026 · By the FoodGate Audit inspection team (ISO 17020 accredited) · Based on the 27-check verification method our inspectors use
Answer the 27 questions below about the Egyptian supplier you are evaluating — Verified if you have checked it yourself, Failed if the check came back bad, Not checked if you have not verified it. Your risk score updates live. Unverified counts as risk: a claim you have not checked protects you exactly as much as a false one.
We send you the verification method for every check you have not passed — register links, database URLs, exact questions to ask — plus the full 27-check PDF.
Your answers stay in your browser — only the score and the numbers of open checks are attached to your request.

Scorecard questions
How is the risk score calculated?
Each of the 27 checks counts equally. Checks you mark as Verified add to your score; Failed and Not checked both count as open risk, because an unverified claim protects you exactly as much as a false one. 90%+ verified is low risk; below 50% means you should not transfer money yet.
What are the most commonly failed checks?
In our inspection work, the checks that catch the most problems are the GLOBALG.A.P. database cross-check (check 4), the reverse image search on facility photos (check 11), the subcontracting question (check 8), and the FOB inspection clause (check 25). Fraudulent sellers almost always fail at least two of these.
Can I run this scorecard without alerting the supplier?
Most checks are desk research on public registers and databases - the supplier never knows. Checks 12, 14 and 23 (live video, third-party visit, inspection clause) require asking, and the supplier's reaction to being asked is itself part of the evidence: a legitimate packer agrees without friction.
What should I do if the score comes out high risk?
Do not wire a deposit. Either walk away, or convert the open items into contract conditions: independent facility verification before signature, and pre-shipment inspection with MRL sampling before payment. An on-site audit resolves in one day what desk research cannot.
