Introduction to SQF Certification (Use “Notes “ View in PowerPoint to see additional guidance) Use this presentation to introduce SQF Certification to your management team. The presentation explains what SQF is, and how to accomplish Certification. www.22000-Tools.com

SQF Certification Scheme Safe Quality Food, SQF The SQF System is a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) It is a set of requirements for integrated processes that work together to control and minimize food safety hazards You must implement processes such as - Management Commitment, Document Control and Records, Food Safety Fundamentals, Food Safety Plans, Verification and Validation, Product Identification and Traceability, Site Security, Allergen Management and Training The requirements for SQF Certification are documented in the SQF Code. The code is divided into Modules. All companies must implement processes to meet the requirements of Module 2 of the code. This is the module with the food safety management system elements. Your company must also implement the “Food Safety Fundamentals” specific to your industry segment. The requirements for food safety fundamentals are found in modules 3-15 of the code. Choose the module that applies to your organization. For example, food processors will use Module 11. __________________________________________________________________________ For training on the details of the SQF Requirements use our Online Training Programs: Introduction to SQF System Elements (Module 2), http://www.22000-tools.com/sqf-system-elements-training.html and Food Safety Fundamentals (Choose the Module that applies to your organization) http://www.22000-tools.com/sqf-food-safety-fundamentals-training.html www.22000-Tools.com

SQF Certification Scheme Safe Quality Food, SQF The certification program is managed by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI) www.sqfi.com The Safe Quality Food Institute Website has helpful information including document downloads. Visit to download the SQF Code and Guidance Documents. www.22000-Tools.com

SQF Certification Scheme Safe Quality Food, SQF The SQF System was designed to provide suppliers with a recognized certification   To be able to provide proof of a rigorous food safety management system   More and more food processors and retailers are requesting their suppliers to achieve food safety management system registration. The most common request is for a GFSI benchmarked certification. SQF is GFSI benchmarked and recognized. www.22000-Tools.com

SQF Certification Scheme Safe Quality Food, SQF   The SQF is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative, GFSI   Providing worldwide recognition and acceptance by food manufacturers and retailers  More detail on GFSI: www.mygfsi.com There are also other systems that are recognized including FSSC 22000 and BRC. The systems are similar in what they require, although requirements are not exactly the same. The standards are each organized and managed differently. All are well recognized and accepted because they are GFSI recognized. www.22000-Tools.com

SQF Certification Scheme Safe Quality Food, SQF A supplier can choose from 3 Levels of certification Level 1- Food Safety Fundamentals Level 2-HACCP (GFSI Recognition)   Level 3-Integrated Food Safety and Quality There are 3 levels of certification for SQF, as defined in this slide. Only levels 2 and 3 are recognized by GFSI. Level 1 is not recognized. The SQF Code, Module 2 lists the requirements for each level, and looking at that module is a good way to see the differences in the requirements. They are clearly identified, side by side for each level. The basic difference between Level 2 and Level 3 is that Level 2 is focused on Food Safety, and Level 3 also addresses Quality. A company does not have to do level 2 before level 3, you may start with level 3. www.22000-Tools.com

Here is a comparison of requirements that apply. www.22000-Tools.com
