Safe Quality Food (SQF) – Food Safety and Quality Certification
- Industry: Food & Beverage Manufacturing and Safety; Agriculture; Packaging Safety, Quality, and Compliance
About SQF
The Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program is a leading, globally recognized food safety and quality certification system administered by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI) and benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It is the only GFSI-recognized standard that offers a seamless farm-to-fork food safety certification program.
SQF certification provides independent verification that your food safety and quality management systems comply with international and industry standards across the entire food supply chain. SQF is supported by an increasing number of U.S. and international retailers and food service providers who express a preference for suppliers who implement Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)-based food safety and quality management systems.
SQF certification is offered in several codes to match industry-specific needs, including SQF Food Manufacturing, Primary Production, Storage & Distribution, and Food Packaging.
Why SQF Certification Matters
- Meets Buyer and Retailer Demands: Required by major retailers and foodservice providers worldwide.
- Ensures Regulatory Compliance: Aligns with FSMA, HACCP, and Codex Alimentarius principles to meet U.S. and global regulations.
- Reduces Risk of Recalls: Encourages rigorous process control, traceability, and documentation to minimize food safety failures.
- Demonstrates Commitment to Excellence: Signals to customers and partners that your brand upholds the highest safety and quality standards.
