The Importance of SQF Level 2 Certification

A deeper look into the quality standards that helped Abstrax achieve SQF certification for “Food Safety Code in Food Manufacturing.”

Our passion for this industry has been the driving force behind our dedication to providing safe, high-quality ingredients. We believe ensuring safety and quality of products are non-negotiable requirements for any reputable business. 

This has made certifications such as the ISO 9001:2015 and FSSC 22000 popular among terpene suppliers. While these are notable achievements, we’ve taken our commitment to quality and safety to new heights by achieving the SQF certification for “Food Safety Code in Food Manufacturing” previously known as SQF Level 2 Certification.

This achievement is not only a testament to our continuous efforts to improve all aspects of our operations but also proof that the brewing industry can achieve excellence.

Unpacking the SQF “Food Safety Code in Food Manufacturing” Certification

SQF, or Safe Quality Food, is a globally recognized certification that is considered one of the most stringent in the food safety industry. Its comprehensive quality control regulations are unparalleled, and its rigorous audits ensure that a company's quality management system operates at the highest level.

Abstrax's attainment of “Food Safety Code in Food Manufacturing” certification speaks volumes about our dedication to producing top-tier, safe products, far surpassing the usual ISO 9001:2015 and FSSC 22000 benchmarks.

Unlike other programs, the SQF certification offers a quality score akin to health department evaluations for restaurants, providing an ongoing testament to the quality of our operations. 

Our recent scoring of 94 on this metric is a testimony to our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest levels of quality in our operations.

We understand that supplying safe, quality-assured ingredients is imperative, and this certification provides assurance to our clients and partners that we are committed to the highest possible standards of ingredient production.
