FOOD QUALITY AND STANDARDS
Globalization has revolutionized the food supply chain, and with it comes a whole new world of existing opportunities for companies. As countries globally increase their demand for food ingredients and raw materials, protecting the consumer while promoting food safety, security, and quality throughout the supply chain is imperative.
GFSI, the Global Food Safety Initiative, is a collaborative effort among food industry stakeholders. It aims to guarantee the safety of food products across the supply chain by setting globally recognized standards. GFSI ensures consistency and fosters continuous improvement in food safety practices through its benchmarks for food safety management systems. SQF is a food safety standard recognized by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative). GFSI has approved SQF as one of the benchmarked schemes that meet their stringent requirements for food safety management systems. This recognition means that companies implementing SQF can demonstrate compliance with GFSI's global standards, enhancing their credibility and market access. The SQF (Safe Quality Food) Institute is a division of FMI—The Food Industry Association, established to administer the SQF Program, a leading global food safety and quality certification and management system. Our mission is to deliver consistent, globally recognized food safety and quality certification programs based on sound scientific principles, applied across all industry sectors, and valued by all stakeholders.
