SQF (Safe Quality Food) Certification
Issued by Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI), managed by FMI
CertificationAudit Scope
GFSI-benchmarked food safety and quality management. Edition 10 published March 1, 2026 (Edition 10 audits expected to begin January 2, 2027; Edition 9 remains operational through the transition). Includes a dedicated Dietary Supplement Manufacturing code. The Level 1/2/3 structure is Edition 9-era labeling: 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. A legacy 'SQF Level 2' label denotes 'Food Safety' only; Level 3 added quality (Edition 9 terminology; Edition 10 restructures the program). Does NOT replace supplement-specific cGMP.
