FOOD QUALITY AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Why do Companies need Food Safety and Quality Assurance:
Food Safety and Quality Assurance are vital for any food company striving to remain competitive in the market place, and provides a higher degree of assurance that a supplier will maintain their commitment to food safety and quality at all times.
SQF identifies safety and quality risks as well as validate and monitor the control measures.
The SQF Program is based on internationally recognized principles of food safety including HACCP systems. It uses a scientific approach tailored to each production specifically to achieve best consistent product.
HACCP is a tool to assess hazards and establish control systems that focus on prevention rather than relying mainly on end-product testing.
By applying the principles of HACCP and the inherent quality system elements the risks to produce safety and poor quality are identified and strategies / action plans are put into place to minimize and manage these risks.
