Start the Year Off Right with the SQF Fundamentals Program

Mar 7, 2019

As we spend the last couple weeks of 2019 celebrating our successes and counting our achievements, it’s time to look Fundamentals-Coverstowards the future. Let’s review our accomplishments and evaluate them – and I mean really evaluate them and consider new ways to expand and grow in 2020.

Ask yourself questions like:

    • How can we improve in 2020?
    • What more can I do to ensure the quality and integrity of my brand?
    • How can we take our site to the next level of food safety?

Well, it all starts with building and nurturing a culture of food safety. Food safety does not begin or end at your site. Food safety is critical at every step in the food supply, every link in our supply chain. Therefore, in a perfect world, every food industry site should have a food safety management system in place. For SQF stakeholders, our solution for you is the SQF Fundamentals Program.

The SQF Fundamentals Program is specially designed for those small businesses who may not have the resources or time to leap into a GFSI benchmarked food safety program. SQFI is here to help these sites develop a robust food safety system and take their food safety management systems to the next level.

We understand that this can be a daunting task. That’s why we can provide you with a variety of resources, such as guidance documents and a knowledgeable customer support team available Monday through Friday – just for you and your suppliers. SQFI will be with you every step of the way. So, what are you waiting for? Protect your brand and your interests with a fully integrated food safety certified supply chain. Encourage those in your supply chain to Take the First Step.

Here at SQFI, we believe that success does not happen in a vacuum, and neither does food safety. Together, we can help to build a safer supply chain, one food producer at a time. So be sure to include spreading the word on The SQF Fundamentals in your New Year’s Resolutions.

Congratulations everyone, we’ve had wonderful year in food safety – now let’s have an even better one in 2020. Happy Holiday’s everyone and we’ll see you next year.
