SQF 1000, SQF 2000 or both?
The SQF Program provides two standards based on the type of food supplier: The SQF 1000 Code for primary producers and growers and the SQF 2000 Code for the manufacturing, processing and distribution sectors. Growers, please note that your facility may fall into both categories - for example if you are both a grower and packer of primary produce and have GMP audits (which SQF 2000 could replace).

SQF - Meeting consumer demand for increased food safety assurances through the chain...
The SQF (Safe Quality Food) Program is a food safety and quality certification program, and management system, designed to meet the needs of buyers and suppliers worldwide.
Who should attend?
* SQF In-house Practitioners and Consultants responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining the company’s SQF Systems
* Owners and company leaders wanting in-depth knowledge of the SQF program
* Supporting employees – managers and others overseeing the processes
Training goals:
• To provide an understanding of SQF principles, activities and how the program fits into The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)
• To gather information on the resources required for development, implementation and maintenance of the program for positive ROI and workforce improvements.
• To learn best practices to document & verify results, and to prepare for audits.
• To recognize that the investment in certification has long-range benefits - many SQF-certified suppliers have gained greater recognition in the marketplace, fewer complaints and returns, reduced risk, less waste due to non-conforming product, and increased productivity.
Fees include: training, material binder, lunch and certificate* - $575 - $625 depending on registration date and number of attendees.
* Test & Certificate - the knowledge to be an SQF inhouse Practioner or Consultant is covered in this course and a Certificate of Completion (with the SQF Training Center logo and our SCS logo) is awarded. Taking the test is optional, yet it is common for companies to want employees to take the test. It is done online and payable ($50) to SQF directly. After passing they also provide a certificate – either certificate is useful to show to an auditor or client. You will find it on the SQF website http://www.sqfi.com/training-centers/online-exams (notice that they have FAQs on the right side of the page) Choose - Implementing SQF Systems Exam
