SQF is divided into three levels.
- Level 1 Food Safety Fundamentals
- Level 2 Accredited HACCP Food Safety Plans
- Level 3 Comprehensive Food Safety and Quality
 Management Systems Development
Each Level, which indicates the stage of development of a supplier’s SQF system, builds on the previous
steps, leading toward a comprehensive certification for food safety and quality. By dividing the
implementation into more manageable and structured steps, the supplier can demonstrate continuous
improvement while controlling costs and resources.
Only qualified SQF Experts can implement SQF systems. Registered SQF Auditors work with licensed and
accredited certification bodies to provide SQF certification.
A supplier will be placed onto the SQF register (made available on the SQF website) after achieving Level 1,
thereby immediately alerting their customers of their achievement and helping to raise customer confidence
and support.
