SQF Food Safety and Quality

Confirm that your food products meet the highest possible standards with SQF certification from SGS.

SQF is recognized by major retailers and foodservice providers around the world who require a rigorous, credible food safety management system. Designed as a food safety program, SQF also covers product quality with the SQF quality code, a feature that is unique to a certification program of this type. We offer SQF certification to confirm that your organization produces, processes, prepares and handles food products to the highest possible standards globally.

  • Farm to fork
  • A separate standard to assess product and service quality attributes
  • A quality shield that can be displayed on the products of quality certified sites
  • The Codex HACCP methodology to identify and control food safety and food quality hazards

SQF requires a designated on-site practitioner responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the program.
