Supporting SQF-Aligned Operations
For many food brands, SQF is more than a certification acronym. It’s a signal that the operation has the structure, documentation, and audit-ready controls needed to support retailer, distributor, and customer expectations. ELM’s food-grade storage practices are built to support SQF-related requirements through organized facility controls, routine inspections, pest management support, allergen-aware handling, HACCP-based practices, traceability, corrective action follow-up, and third-party audit review.
