There is no requirement for a food facility to hire an SQF consultant to pass a food safety audit. However, many food facilities have challenges with keeping up with the SQF certification and recertification requirements.

A Registered SQF consultant, in this instance, will be able to help provide guidance and assistance to meet the program requirements.

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”What is the Role of an SQF Consultant?”][bt_bb_text]

A registered SQF Consultant can help

  • Food facilities to find the best way to build, implement and manage your food safety management system
  • Provide confidential information on food safety threats
  • Keep you updated with updates in the local regulatory and SQF requirements

An SQF Consultant can only help with providing suggestions and considerations for the advice. We do not make decisions on your behalf. You will still retain your decision power.

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”How does the process work?”][bt_bb_text]

Every business is unique. All of our consultant at SFPM Consulting is empowered to teach and guide on-site staff to manage food safety programs. You pay us the up-front cost to teach and coach your team so we can charge you less.

However, some fairly common steps include the following:

  • Initial discussion to understand your business needs.
  • We provide a GAP Analysis to determine your company’s needs.
  • Provide ongoing support with guidance and suggestions, so you know what to expect.

Depending on how we structure the project, you should expect to spend anywhere from 10-30 hours on the process over the course of a typical engagement.

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”How can I keep and pass the certification?”][bt_bb_text]

The most challenging journey wasn’t passing the initial certification. It is keeping and passing the recertification when all your customer eye’s on getting your upcoming certificate. Working long hours just before the audit to get it right? Chances are you are not able to make the cut because we cannot recreate missing records.

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”What other services that SFPM Consulting provide?”][bt_bb_text]

Food safety professionals wear many hats in a food facility and may be overwhelmed with their tasks. Don’t let your staff experience burnt-out and consider leaving their roles. Our consultant can help with tedious tasks such as internal audit and supplier approval programs, so your team focus on your operational needs.

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”Is SQF a global certification?”][bt_bb_text]

Being a GFSI recognized certification scheme, means SQF is globally recognized whether you are selling your food to North America, Asia, Africa, or Europe. SQF system is also on par with BRC, AIB, FSSC 22000, etc.

  • Widely recognized in North America
  • Simple, Flexible, and Easy to Customized

Food Safety Certificate allows you to

  • Gain access to the “other side” of the market eg. the import/export market or to the larger retail store
  • Formalize your processes and reduce mistakes in day-to-day operations
  • Mitigate risks for COSTLY food withdrawal or recall
  • Meet regulatory requirements

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”What are the different food safety certifications?”][bt_bb_text]

There are many food safety certifications. If you are new to food safety certifications, here are few considerations that you should take into account when choosing a certification system:

  • Cost
  • Certification Requirements
  • Availability of auditors and in-house experts in your region
  • Customer expectation and requirements

Usually, you will go from a simple food safety plan to a HACCP-certified facility before moving to a GFSI certified facility. GFSI is the shortened word for Global Food Safety Initiatives, which benchmark the food safety certification programs such as SQF, FSSC 22000, BRC, IFS etc., to meet the GFSI requirements.

The benefit of having a GFSI benchmark certification is that it is globally recognized.

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”How often does the food safety certification have to be renewed? “][bt_bb_text]

All HACCP and GFSI certificates need to be renewed annually as there are many changes that occur during one year.

It is important to ensure that the programs are maintained regularly, and any flaws to the programs are identified earlier than later.

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”How do I find the information available to get certified?”][bt_bb_text]

Depending on the type of food safety certificate you are looking to obtain, you will either obtain the requirements from the certification body or from the individual GFSI program’s website.

For HACCP certification, you can obtain the information from the certification body as each certification body has its own set of requirements.

For GFSI certification, here are a few weblinks:

[/bt_bb_text][/bt_bb_accordion_item][bt_bb_accordion_item title=”How long does it takes to get SQF certified?”][bt_bb_text responsive=”” publish_datetime=”” expiry_datetime=”” animation=”no_animation” el_id=”” el_class=”” el_style=””][/bt_bb_text][bt_bb_text]

To get certified, you must first develop a food safety program that meets the certification requirements.

We recommend implementation for at least 3 months before the initial certification.

At SFPM Consulting, we have helped our clients pass their first audit within two months (program development and implementation).
