Your auditor is no longer just checking your binder. They're watching how your leaders lead.
SQF Edition 10 changed what food safety compliance means — but food safety culture is a requirement across every GFSI-recognized scheme. Whether you operate under SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, or IFS, your auditor is now evaluating whether your leaders are actively modeling and sustaining a culture of food safety — not just whether your documentation is in order. This free guide tells you what that means, what auditors will look for, and what you can do about it before February 2027.

What actually changed in SQF Edition 10
Not the procedural updates, the cultural shift. We explain how Edition 10 moved food safety culture from background expectation to scored, auditable requirement.
What auditors will be looking forÂ
Senior leadership visibility. Distributed accountability. Psychological safety. Consistent behavior under pressure. We translate the standard into plain language so you clearly see the gaps.
A self-assessment your team can use today
Six questions. Yes, No, or Not Sure. Honest answers only. If you answer No or Not Sure to more than two, you have work to do before February 2027 — and this guide will show you where to start.

This guide if for you if...
âś… You're a VP of Food Safety, VP of Operations, HR Director, or COO at a food company operating under SQF, BRC, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, IFS, or any other GFSI-recognized certification
✅ You've done the culture surveys, the training programs, the improvement plans, and something still isn't sticking
âś… Food safety culture in your organization lives on the shoulders of one or two people, and you know that's a risk you can't afford to carry forever
✅ You want to understand what SQF Edition 10 actually requires from your leadership team — in plain language, not auditor speak
âś… You have a February 2027 audit coming and you want to know if you're actually ready
