Skidmore Gains Level 2 SQF Certification

CINCINNATISkidmore Sales and Distributing Co., Inc., achieved Safe Food Quality (SQF) 2000, level 2 certification as both a food manufacturer and distributor at its West Chester, Ohio, facility.

Certification assures that the food products consumers are buying have passed rigorous international standards for food safety and quality, including HACCP.  SQF is the only certification program outside Europe recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which links primary production certification to food manufacturing, distribution and agent/broker management certification.

Our desk audit took place in early August and the subsequent facility audit occurred last September. Earning this certification took a lot of work on everyones part, but we know it will be well worth the effort by enabling us to prove our due diligence in food-safety matters and help improve the marketability of our customers products," said Doug Skidmore, President.
