SQF (Safe Quality Food) Certification
Issued by Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI), managed by FMI
CertificationAudit Scope
GFSI-benchmarked food safety and quality management. Three levels: Level 1 (food safety fundamentals), Level 2 (food safety), Level 3 (food safety + quality).
What It Proves
Facility has passed a GFSI-benchmarked food safety (and possibly quality) audit. Level 2+ includes HACCP-based food safety plans.
What It Does Not Prove
SQF is a food industry standard, not supplement-specific. 'SQF Level 2' label shown as 'Food Safety + Quality' is actually just 'Food Safety' — Level 3 adds quality. Does NOT replace supplement-specific cGMP.
