Auditors and Technical Reviewers

SQF Auditors and Technical Reviewers are essential to maintaining food safety and quality at food businesses throughout the global supply chain.

SQF Auditors and Technical Reviewers must be registered by SQFI to conduct or review audits on behalf of a licensed SQF Certification Body. SQF Auditors and Technical Reviewers collect objective evidence to evaluate if a site’s food safety and quality system is in compliance with the SQF Program. After the audit is completed, the Certification Body’s technical reviewer will check the audit results and recommendations to determine if an SQF certificate should be granted.

Auditors and Technical Reviewers must either work for a licensed SQF Certification Body as an employee or a subcontractor.
