FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY
CERTIFICATION
SQF Code – Safety Quality Food Program
The SQF Program is a leading food safety and quality certification system that is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). The program was designed to meet the needs of suppliers and buyers, to ensure their compliance with food safety regulations in both domestic and global markets at all stages of the supply chain. The SQF Program is a food safety and quality certification system including primary production, food processing and related industry, such as packaging and animal feed.
There are three levels of certification. Each level is designed to indicate the stage of development of the producer’s food safety and quality management system. The design of the levels within the code, allows every supplier, from the smallest farmer to the largest manufacturer, to be eligible for SQF certification.
