certified facility
We are Safe Quality Food Level II certified, and take pride in this accomplishment. The Safe Quality Foods Program (SQF) is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and is recognized by retailers and food service providers around the world that require a rigorous, credible food safety management system.
It provides assurance that a product, process or service complies with regulatory, international and scientifically proven standards for safety. This high standard allows brand protection which provides customers with a confidence in their product. In addition to its focus on food safety, SQF allows suppliers to demonstrate their excellence in adhering to the highest quality standards of preparation, processing and handling.
