Safe Quality Food (SQF) Certification

Consumers and retailers today want to know that the food they buy and consume is safe regardless of where it was grown, raised, or processed.

Numerous factors, including an increase in public concerns about the safety of the food supply, globalization of the food supply, and international trade, have amplified the need for a more consistent and internationally recognized food safety and quality management system.

SQF is an internationally recognized protocol for food manufacturers aimed at assisting in product failure avoidance. SQF is designed as a food safety program, but it also covers product quality, a feature that is unique to a certification of this type. By implementing SQF, your company will establish a recognized system to assist in the avoidance of failure and successfully meet a number of required elements for a “Due Diligence” defense.

By becoming SQF-certified, your company will be registered in a database used by many retailers worldwide in determining prominent corporations/clients to conduct future business with.
