SQF
After many highly publicized food safety scares, today’s consumers want to know that the food they buy is safe, no matter where it was grown, raised or processed. Retailers, too, want the same assurances and are requiring suppliers to demonstrate that they are providing safe, quality food that meets consumers’ expectations. For every organization in the food supply chain, managing product safety and quality risks has become critical.Most popular related searches

What is SQF Certification?
The SQF Program is a complete food safety and quality management certification system. It is designed specifically for the food industry and can be applied at all levels of the food supply chain. SQF provides independent certification that a product, process or service complies with regulatory and other specified standards, and enables a food supplier to develop a system that helps ensure food has been produced, prepared and handled according to the highest possible standards.
What SQF standards are available?
Currently, two SQF standards are available: SQF 1000 for primary production and SQF 2000 for food manufacturing and distribution.
