We understand that with COVID-19 impacting many business operations, the ability to conduct audits has been heavily influenced by the need to prevent further spread of the novel coronavirus. Therefore, SQFI has implemented a procedure to defer certification due to extenuating circumstances.
The SQF extension policy aligns with the GFSI position towards deferring certifications and follows the recommendations set forth by the International Accreditation Forum, Inc.
We are continuing to monitor the situation and will update you as new information becomes available and if this affects the extension policy.
Edition 10 has a sharpened focus on the areas where data and experience showed we needed to raise the bar: food safety culture, change management, environmental monitoring, and audit scoring.
If your business sources, brokers, or facilitates trade for ALDI's exclusive brand products, a new certification requirement could apply to you.
SQFI has launched the SQF Agents & Brokers Code, a dedicated certification standard for businesses involved in the buying, selling, and facilitation of trade across food and general merchandise.
