For food logistics, safety and quality assurance are paramount. Businesses handling perishable goods must adhere to strict standards to ensure food remains safe from farm to consumer. One of the most trusted certifications in this space is the Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification, a globally recognized standard that guarantees compliance with the highest food safety requirements.

What is SQF Certification?

The Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program is a rigorous food safety and quality certification system recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It is designed to provide companies in the food industry with a comprehensive approach to managing risks and ensuring food safety at every stage of production and distribution.

Why SQF Matters

SQF certification is not just a regulatory requirement—it is a commitment to excellence. Businesses that achieve SQF certification demonstrate:

• A dedication to food safety and quality

• Strict compliance with global standards

• A proactive approach to preventing contamination and foodborne illnesses

• Greater trust from clients, partners, and consumer
