Safe Quality Food SQF
What is the Safe Quality Food Program (SQF)
The Safe Quality Food Program (SQF) employs a scientific method designed to produce a consistent product. It envelopes different phases of the food supply chain with industry-specific codes right from the farm, manufacturing and packaging, product storage, distribution, food retail, and food service.
Safe Quality Food (SQF) identifies safety and quality risks and validates and monitors control measures.
The SQF Program is founded on internationally acknowledged food safety principles, including HACCP systems.
- Principles of system management
- Maintenance of the management system
- Control of food safety hazards through Pre-requisite programs and HACCP-based food safety plans
- Control of potential threats to quality through HACCP-based food quality plans
Why do Food Industries require SQF and HACCP?
Food Safety Systems and HACCP are essential for any food company aspiring to be a market leader.
It provides the consumer with the highest level of assurance that the supplier will always uphold their commitment to food safety and quality.
HACCP
HACCP is an effective tool for assessing hazards and establishing prevention-oriented control systems, as opposed to relying primarily on end-product testing.
An experienced HACCP consultant will assist the organisation in identifying product risks, developing strategies and action plans to minimise and manage those risks, and implementing those plans.
Types of SQF
Supply Chain Scope
The SQF codes are tailored to cater to the needs of the various food supply chain sectors.
Apart from the additional quality code, they provide certification for primary production (agriculture and aquaculture), food manufacturing, packaging, distribution, retail, and food service.
Sector Focused
The SQF Codes are internationally recognised and serve as a guarantee that the product you purchase meets international food safety standards.
Each code emphasizes food safety and good manufacturing practices (GMP) that are sector-specific.
