” The only thing worse than training your employees and having them leave is not training your employees and having them stay.” – Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company
At SQFI, we believe that creating a safer food supply can only be accomplished by demanding excellence at every stop along the food chain. And for us, that chain starts with training. Whether you’re a line worker in a food facility, a corporate decision-maker for a multi-national food company, a consultant assisting a facility prepare for an audit, or a member of an auditing body, itself, – training is an essential first step in the management of a successful food safety system.
This month, we invite you to join us as we examine the importance of training, education, and professional development in the food safety workplace.
With Edition 10 audits arriving as early as Jan. 2, 2027, sites that start closing gaps today will walk into their audit with far more confidence than those scrambling at the end of 2026.
SQF Food Safety Code Edition 10 is now available, and it marks more than a routine update to the Code.
As we move toward the launch of SQF Edition 10 in early March, one message is clear. Food safety is no longer evaluated only through programs, procedures, and records.
