Both are now fully auditable, opening two important channels for growth.

What’s new in SQF Edition 10? A digital experience designed to make the Code easier to use.

SQF Edition 10 introduces a more intuitive, digital-first way to navigate the SQF Code, starting with the new Code Selector.

Instead of searching through long documents, users can now quickly identify the exact SQF Code that applies to their operation. The goal is simple. Help sites spend less time searching and more time strengthening food safety systems.

Here are three key improvements in the Edition 10 digital experience:
✔ The SQF Code Selector - Guides users directly to the correct Code for their industry and certification scope.
✔ A more structured digital format - Navigation is clearer and easier for practitioners, auditors, and sites to reference during implementation.
✔ Flexible Access to the Code - Most users will access the Code digitally. If you still prefer paper, printing remains an option.

SQF Edition 10 reflects what industry asked for. A stronger Code, easier navigation, and a modern digital experience.

Explore the new experience and see how Edition 10 was Built by Industry. Ready for What’s Next.
