Yum! Brands transitions suppliers to GFSI certification

SQFI food safety certification is now accepted by Yum! Brands for their supply chain partners.

Food producers, processors, packaging manufacturers, and storage and distribution partners to Yum! Brands certified to a GFSI benchmarked standard, such as the SQF Food Safety Code, will not be required to have the additional Yum! food safety audit.

Suppliers must achieve certification by December 31, 2024. Yum’s commitment to GFSI supports suppliers by reducing the number of external audits required and demonstrates the trust Yum! has in the SQF Food Safety Codes and licensed certification bodies.
