The Benefits of Earning Food Safety Certification

    Earning food safety certification is a significant milestone for many food sites. Those who participate in certification programs demonstrate their commitment to upholding the highest levels of safety and quality and participate in a global effort to improve food culture for communities worldwide. 

    The Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program is recognized by retailers and food services
    providers worldwide as a rigorous, credible Food Safety Management
    system.

    SQF is the only certification system recognized by the Global Food Safety
    Initiative (GFSI) that offers certificates for primary production, Food manufacturing, packaging, storage, and distribution. This enables suppliers to assure their customers that Food has been produced, processed, prepared, and handled according to the
    highest possible standards at all levels of the supply chain.
