Initial SQF Certification How long does the process take?

Statistical surveys of certified companies showed an average of 6-12 months to prepare for and actually achieve initial certification when a new Food Safety Program is being developed.

Elite Food Safety Services can help you achieve SQF certification in approximately 4-6 months. We are a boutique firm and choose our clients very carefully. This allows us to focus dedicated time and energy to developing your SQF Food Safety Program and ensuring you are completely prepared for your SQF initial certification audit.

We will set a program timeline once a proposal has been created and accepted to ensure that we will achieve the goals of your certification timeframe. This can generally be accomplished within six months or less, providing our Certification Body partner has auditor availability for conducting the SQF initial certification audit within your required timeline.

Call us with your specific needs, especially if you have a customer who is now requiring that your facility become SQF certified in order to continue providing products to them.
