Code Selector

SQF offers food safety and quality Codes for all aspects of the food supply chain from primary production through to retail and foodservices. To help determine your site’s Food Sector Category (FSC), we’ve developed the Code Selector. SQF certification is product specific. Select the FSC(s) that best represents your site’s product to find out which modules, Codes, and resources are applicable to your site. The content on this page is computer translated. For accurate wording, please see the SQF Food Safety Codes.
