QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT CULINAIRE FROZEN FOOD MANUFACTURING
What is an SQF Level III Certification?
SQF is recognized by retailers and foodservice providers around the world who require a rigorous,
credible food safety management system. The SQF Program is recognized by the Global Food Safety
Initiative (GFSI) and links primary production certification to food manufacturing, distribution and
agent/broker management certification. SQF certification is based on government and industry food
safety requirements, so businesses at every level have the ready documentation they need to
demonstrate the steps they’ve taken to increase food safety. In addition, the SQF program provides
specialized guidance documents on standards within specific categories, such as egg processing,
and fresh produce packhouse operations.
