In March 2020, GFSI published a new version of the GFSI Benchmarking Requirements, the reference document setting expectations for GFSI-recognized Certification Program Owners, such as SQF. A number of key elements (clauses) were added or modified with this version, some that were included within edition 9 of the SQF Food Safety Codes.
The objective of this online survey is to measure the impact of some of those changes on your business or organization, and on food safety.
Your answers to this survey will provide GFSI with a valuable indicator of how version 2020 of the GFSI Benchmarking Requirements contribute to their purpose of safe food for consumers, everywhere.
Note: The survey will close on June 1, 2022.
I’ve dedicated my career to food safety, and one of the most rewarding aspects of my work is helping others showcase their expertise in a meaningful way.
Training isn’t just a box to check—it’s a critical investment in ensuring your team understands and implements the practices needed to maintain compliance with SQF standards.
As we settle into 2025, the focus on food safety has never been more critical. SQF Edition 10 is on track for release in July 2025, with implementation for auditing set for the first half of 2026.
