Food safety as an objective

SQF is a food safety standard that specifies the quality management system requirements necessary to identify food safety and quality risks as well as validate/ monitor the control measures.

The SQF comprises of the SQF 2000cm and SQF 1000cm Quality Codes.

It covers the identification of food safety and quality risks, and the validation and monitoring of control measures.
