Passing SQF, IFS and BRCGS in One Round, Plus FDA Registration — Four Global Qualifications
Recently, our specialty milk powder product lines successively passed SQF (Food Safety and Quality), IFS (International Food Standard) Issue 8, and BRCGS (Global Food Safety Standard) certifications. Combined with our already-completed US FDA registration, this forms an international qualification matrix of "three certifications + one registration."
SQF: Full-Chain Control from Farm to Table
SQF is one of the standards recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). Its audit is not a simple finished-product sampling — it requires closed-loop control across the entire industry chain, from pasture milk sources to product traceability, covering over a thousand audit clauses, and is issued by the international auditor SGS.
IFS and BRCGS: Passports to International Retail Shelves
IFS certification is recognized by many international retailers and food-service companies, with a limited number of Higher-Level certified enterprises. BRCGS is known for its comprehensive system and rigorous audits. Both require annual re-audits by on-site experts, and a single non-conformity revokes the qualification.
What This Means for Procurement Customers
- Full-chain rigorous control from raw materials to finished-goods release — food safety risks are controllable
- Batch-by-batch full-panel testing + one-can-one-code traceability — complete materials for factory audits and compliance reviews
- FDA registration in hand — qualifications for cross-border distribution and export are complete
- HACCP, ISO 9001, GMP, and other system certifications remain valid in parallel
