SQF
- • The Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized food safety certification covering all stages of the food supply chain through industry-specific codes ranging from primary production through to food manufacturing, distribution, food packaging and retail.
- • The SQF Code has been recently revised to Edition 9. As the SQF Codes comprehensively cover all sectors of the food supply chain, you have the flexibility to select the most appropriate certification criteria from the following:
SQF CERTIFICATION
FOOD SAFETY FUNDAMENTAL
Considered for simple food safety practices especially for low-risk products. This layer set a foundation on companies to safely produce and manufacture their products.
HACCP-CERTIFIED FOOD SAFETY PLANS
Considered for high-risk products, this layer is considered for suppliers to conduct a food safety risk assessment of the product using the HACCP method.
COMPREHENSIVE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
This is the comprehensive level of certification the SQF has to present. This level can only be achieved by first complying with the first two levels of certification.
