Stay ahead of competitors in the food industry; demonstrate a high food safety and quality commitment through SQF Certification and request an audit with Merieux NutriSciences Certification.
The SQF (Safe Quality Food) Code is a fully integrated food safety and quality management standard that provides independent accredited certification. An SQF Audit can assess a supplier’s food safety and quality management system’s compliance with both domestic and international regulations. SQF is recognised worldwide through benchmarking and recognition by GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) and meets the growing demands of the global marketplace.
The SQF Code is a HACCP-based supplier assurance standard for the food industry. Implementing and maintaining an SQF program is uniquely customised based on your product, process and food safety goals.
