InfinityQS Urges Contract Food Manufacturers to Obtain SQF Certification to Enhance Competitiveness

October 22, 2019
No Comments

FAIRFAX, Va. - Oct. 22, 2019 - InfinityQS® International, Inc. (InfinityQS), the global authority on data-driven enterprise quality solutions, advises contract food and beverage manufacturers and suppliers to pursue SQF certification, demonstrating they have effective food safety and quality programs that meet the requirements outlined by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI).

In a new white paper titled, "Quality Insights: How SPC Solutions Support SQF Certification," InfinityQS explains how Statistical Process Control (SPC) solutions can help organizations meet or exceed SQFI standards, obtain the highest level of certification, and thereby position themselves to win more contracts.

Greg Matranga, Vice President of Global Marketing, InfinityQS, said, "Well-known food and beverage companies often use contract manufacturers and suppliers to produce their products. Many of these companies are established brands, so they must be very careful about the contract facilities that they choose to work with. They need assurance that these contractors have systems in place to ensure food safety, uphold product quality, and prevent costly recalls. That's why they rely on food safety guidelines and certifications from third-party organizations like the SQFI as part of their search and qualification processes."

Designed to help companies establish proven food safety and quality programs, the SQF certification program is recognized by retailers, brand owners, and food service providers around the world. It features a three-level structure, with the third (and highest) level requiring manufacturers, suppliers, and other sites to demonstrate they have systems that adhere to the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system and benchmarked standards from the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). Many of the world's largest food and beverage manufacturers require their contractors to have level-three SQF certification, which at its core also requires SPC.

According to InfinityQS, SPC enables contract manufacturers to better manage large datasets, mine their data for opportunities for improvement, and put up safeguards to reduce food safety risks. Real-time insights can highlight ways to improve consistency, lower operating costs, and preempt recalls. With an SPC solution, contract facilities can easily access historical data to validate their SQF compliance in the event of an audit. More so, they can protect themselves and the brands they work for through optimal quality.

Matranga added, "Contractors that obtain the highest level of SQF certification are able to qualify to win more contracts because they have proven their ability to deliver safe and high-quality products. They can be more competitive and bid for contracts on a national or global scale, increasing their market reach. Ultimately, there is a greater sense of trust between organizations—and that trust extends to consumers on the other end of the supply chain."
