Today’s consumers and retailers want to know that the food they buy is safe, no matter where it was grown, raised or processed. Numerous factors have amplified the need and desire for a consistent, credible, internationally accepted food and safety quality management system. We have an obligation to our customers and our brands. We will not use suppliers who may compromise the long developed trust our customers have in us.

We realized that the job of assuring food safety is very challenging, and the food industry must accept responsibility for safe food. SQF provides independent verification that product specifications and regulatory requirements have been met. It is a voluntary global standard that crosses country boundaries.
