SQF is a food safety certification standard. SQF certified companies have successfully completed a certification audit by a third party auditor showing that their food safety system meets the requirements of the SQF code.
SQF was available in 2 levels in Edition 7.2 and earlier: SQF Level 2 (Food Safety) and SQF Level 3 (Food Safety and Quality). This has changed in Edition 8.
The SQF Code has different requirements specific to different industry segments so different types of food companies can use the SQF Code to build a system that is right for them. Each organization must identify the modules that apply, and meet those requirements. .
The specific requirements of SQF are available to you in the free downloadable code. We offer a summary of the requirements for your review.
The average time for implementation is approximately one year. Your timeframe may vary. We offer points to consider.
