Safe Quality Food (SQF)

Monday, July 6, 2009

•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.

The SQF Institute (SQFI) is a division of the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), an association that conducts programs in public affairs, food safety, research, education and industry relations on behalf of its 1,500 member companies.
The SQF Institute was established by FMI in 2004 to administer the SQF Program and is located in Arlington, Virginia.
SQFI provides one of the most globally recognized food safety and quality certification programs.

•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.
