Implementing the SQF Quality Code

In 2018 SQFI introduced the SQF Quality Code as part of the edition 8 suite of SQF standards. The SQF Quality Code incorporates the quality management principles necessary to achieve customer requirements and continuously improve quality and productivity.

The course will address the impact of quality parameters on the site’s product and operation, assist sites in understanding how the SQF Quality Code aligns with food safety and allow learners to apply quality tools and techniques to implementation of the SQF Quality Code.

How will I benefit?

This course will help you:

  • Take the typical framework for implementing a quality management system (QMS) and incorporate it into your existing SQF system. This should form a sound basis for your implementation efforts and benefit your organization
  • Recognize where adjustments might need to be made to this framework, to accommodate your unique situation and progress made to date
  • Increase your knowledge on the key concepts and requirements of the SQF quality code, from an implementation perspective

Your learning will be through an activity-based, delegate centred approach. This will help you share experiences and knowledge with other attendees; bringing alive the information presented and resulting in enhanced retention and application to your own workplace.
