Globally Trusted Food Safety and Quality Certification



What is SQF 2000?

The SQF 2000 system consists of the SQF 2000 Code and its corresponding guidance documents. It is a HACCP-based supplier assurance code designed to meet the needs of food manufacturers, processors, distributors and brokers.


Featured Components:

  • Certification at three levels and on an annual basis (the SQF 2000 certification trademark may be used after achieving and maintaining Level 3 certification).


  • Guidance documents for specific food industry sectors such as dairy, fish, egg, fruit, vegetable and meat processing as well as storage, transportation and distribution.


  • Third-party audit to verify the producer is adhering to the rigorous requirements of the SQF 2000 Code.


  • Innovative optional modules for responsible environmental and social practices and food defense.
