PHOENIX Achieves Excellent SQF Ratings in 2024

The safety and security that PHOENIX provides for our customers' products start with consistent, careful safety and quality practices. During the first few months of 2024, all PHOENIX facilities were audited to maintain our Safe Quality Food (SQF) Certification. We are happy to announce that all PHOENIX manufacturing locations received "excellent" ratings.

SQF is a food safety standard recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). GFSI has approved SQF as one of the benchmarked structures that meet their stringent requirements for food safety management systems. This recognition means that companies implementing SQF can demonstrate compliance with GFSI's global standards, enhancing their credibility and market access.

The SQF Program is a rigorous and credible food safety and quality program recognized by retailers, brand owners, and foodservice providers worldwide. SQF certification provides an independent and external verification that a product, process, or service complies with international, regulatory, and other specified standards. It enables a food producer to assure that food has been produced, prepared, and handled according to the highest possible standards.

PHOENIX audits were each conducted over two days and included rigorous documentation reviews and several hours of GMP walk-throughs in production, warehouse, and maintenance areas, accompanied by employee interviews.

At our core, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards in food safety. Achieving SQF certification is not only a testament to PHOENIX's commitment to quality and safety, but also a reflection of our unwavering dedication to meeting and exceeding industry regulations.
