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.
Food safety programs are evolving rapidly, and organizations are seeking practical guidance on preparing for the next phase of certification requirements.
The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service's (FSIS) new "askFSIS Live!" virtual sessions are designed to help small food plants connect directly with FSIS experts in a more accessible way.
Each year on June 7, the global community comes together to recognize World Food Safety Day, to reflect on the importance of safe food and the systems that protect it.
