🌎 World Food Safety Day is this Sunday on June 7th, and it’s an opportunity for everyone in the global food supply chain to take action.

From producers and manufacturers to retailers, auditors, suppliers, and service providers, every stakeholder plays a role in building safer food systems. This year’s World Food Safety Day 2026 theme, “From burden to solutions – safe food everywhere,” reminds us that real progress happens when data, collaboration, and practical action come together.

At SQFI, that message is central to how stronger food safety cultures are built across the supply chain.

See how we are championing safe food everywhere.

SQF Edition 10 elevates environmental monitoring as a core clause and places greater emphasis on a documented, risk-based environmental assessment to determine the level of monitoring needed based on a facility’s processes, products, and food safety risks.

Join us on Wednesday, June 24, for an SQF365 webinar presented with Eurofins about how environmental monitoring connects to hazard analysis, risk assessment, and documented program decisions. Practical considerations will include what to test, where to sample, how often to monitor, and how to determine sampling needs based on facility risk.
