SQF Certification Support
Safe Quality Food Systems
Safe Quality Foods (SQF) Code has been benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (the Global Food Safety Initiative sets requirements for food safety schemes through a benchmarking process to improve cost efficiency throughout the food supply). SQF audits are based on HACCP and require management commitment to food safety. While we provide some standardized tools to help expedite implementation, we specialize in customizing food safety systems to fit each organization’s specific needs. The techniques we have developed improve efficiency while meeting SQF requirements.
