Sensient Colors Achieves Highest SQF Certification
Sensient Colors LLC, a St. Louis-based business unit of Sensient Technologies Corp. and the global leader in color for food and beverage applications, recently achieved Safe Quality Food (SQF) 2000 Level 3 certification. This level of certification represents the highest within the SQF program, designating a comprehensive mastery of safety and quality management systems development.
A program administered by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), Crystal City, Va., SQF is a designation known by retailers and foodservice providers around the world who require a rigorous, credible, food safety management system of their suppliers and manufacturers. SQF is the only certification recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) that offers special recognition for product quality, issuing certificates for primary production, food manufacturing, distribution and agent/broker management.
“We are proud of our achievement in receiving the highest status from this prestigious, globally recognized certification program. The SQF 2000 Level 3 designation further demonstrates Sensient Colors complete commitment to producing high quality, safe and secure ingredients,” says Mark Goldschmidt, technical director. “In addition to quality, SQF also identifies a company’s ability to be proactive and manage risk. Sensient has comprehensive and stringent assessment, screening and analytical testing programs for all raw materials and finished products.”
“At Sensient, we know our colors define many of the world’s largest brands. Our dedication to quality and food safety ensures our customers will have complete confidence that their products contain safe, secure and consistently stable color,” says Paul Manning, president of Sensient Colors. “Our focus on the future of color is built upon a foundation of premium quality allowing us to offer safe, sophisticated innovations like plant breeding programs, new hybrid creation and nutritional bioavailability.”
In addition to SQF, Sensient routinely excels in third-party audits and has a superior record with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) on conformance.
