Safe Quality Food (SQF)

•The Safe Quality Food (SQF) is a quality program recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)*, an organization representing over 70% of food retail revenue worldwide. The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) manages the SQF program.
•Currently, there are two SQF Codes: SQF 1000 for farmers / producers and SQF 2000 for food manufacturers and distributors.
•SQF 1000 and 2000 Codes are based on the principles of Hazard Analysis at Critical Control Point (HACCP), Codex, ISO and Quality Management Systems.
•SQF Certification to these codes gives assurance to retailers that the food from suppliers has been produced, prepared and handled according to internationally recognized standards.
