Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification is a globally recognized program for food safety and quality. At Pod Pack, we're proud to have this certification, which shows our commitment to providing the best-quality products. Whether you're interested in our co-packing or private labeling solutions, you can feel confident in our top-quality products.

What Is the SQF Certification Process?

SQF certification is a rigorous process requiring businesses to demonstrate how they handle all food safety risks. To receive our SQF certification, we underwent the following:

  • Evaluate current processes within our facility to see how we can better align with SQF best practices.
  • Complete staff training on SQF principles.
  • Develop policies and procedures tailored to SQF regulations.
  • Conduct internal audits and make adjustments as needed to meet SQF standards.
  • Schedule and pass the certification audit by the accredited SQF body.

We're proud of having SQF certification, and we obtain SQF re-certification every three years. However, our desire to offer safe, high-quality coffee products doesn't stop at certification. Some other actions we perform to uphold our high-quality standards include:

  • Commit to remaining current on any changes in SQF standards for ongoing compliance.
  • Maintain continuous improvement, like analyzing performance data and using feedback from our staff and customers.
  • Complete regular internal audits to ensure we are compliant and upholding food safety standards.
