Kalsec has received the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Level 2 certification under the Global Food Safety Initiative Edition 7.2.
The certification is for food ingredient manufacture that includes spice extracts, color, flavors, antioxidants and hops.
SQF certification is achieved when a company demonstrates exceptional quality control and food safety practices.
A third-party audit is conducted by a qualified inspector to evaluate different aspects of a company’s food safety program, including: personnel practices, plant maintenance and cleanliness, food defense plan, and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points or HACCP plans.
It provides validation to many national and international retailer and food service providers that a company has food safety programs in place and that those programs are followed.
