What is SQF?
SQF stands for Safe Quality Food and is a food safety certification program. The two main benefits it provides for an organization are:
- A rigorous system to manage food safety risks and provide safe products for use by companies in the food industry.
- A recognized food safety certification. This allows your customers to have confidence in your food safety program and know that you have a rigorous food safety system in place.
Acquiring the SQF certification takes time, effort and attention to detail in order to meet your needs. We were able to achieve the level of excellence required in order to provide food grade bags for our customers by maintaining a food grade storage facility, implementing good manufacturing process (GMP), developing an indepth supplier approval program among other procedural tasks.
SQF, by the SQF Institute, is recognized by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). This gives you the recognition you need to supply products to leading manufacturers and retails worldwide. More and more retailers and manufacturers are asking for GFSI recognized certification. Both food processors and food packaging manufacturers are becoming certified to meet customer demands and to stay competitive in the marketplace

They meet together at technical working group and stakeholder meetings, conferences and regional events to share knowledge and promote a harmonized approach to managing food safety across the industry. GFSI is facilitated by The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), a global, parity-based industry network, driven by its members.
