SQF stands for Safe Quality Food, and it refers to a certification program that ensures food safety and quality within various industries, primarily the food and beverage industry. The SQF certification is recognized globally and is administered by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI), a division of the Food Marketing Institute (FMI).
The SQF certification program provides a comprehensive approach to food safety management systems, which includes guidelines for the production, processing, packaging, and distribution of food products. The primary goal of SQF certification is to minimize food safety risks and ensure that products meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations.
To achieve SQF certification, companies must undergo an assessment conducted by an accredited SQF auditor. This evaluation appraises the company's adherence to the applicable SQF Code level and how well they have integrated food safety and quality management systems. If the company satisfies the established criteria, they become recipients of the SQF certification.
It's crucial to highlight that upholding SQF certification mandates continual adherence, frequent audits, and persistent endeavors to enhance processes, all of which ensure a consistent upholding of food safety and quality standards.
