SQFI published Edition 10 of the SQF Code in March 2026. These are the changes auditors will be checking at most sites.
Every site now needs a food safety culture assessment plan.
Change management is now a dedicated requirement of the Code (2.3.5).
Strengthened, risk-based environmental monitoring expectations.
A revised scoring model that weights audit results toward Core Clauses.
The Code is now digital first, so you need to know where requirements sit in the digitized format.
SQFI expects Edition 10 audits to begin on January 2, 2027. That date is contingent on GFSI benchmarking, and SQFI says it will communicate any changes.
Audits that take place before the Edition 10 implementation date use Edition 9.
Audits on or after the implementation date use Edition 10.
If an Edition 9 audit led to a surveillance audit that falls after the date, that surveillance audit is against the Edition 9 requirements.
Certification bodies won't mix requirements from both editions in a single audit.

What to expect during an Edition 10 audit, the areas auditors focus on, common non-conformances, documentation review, facility inspection priorities, interview preparation, last-minute fixes, mock audits, opening and closing meetings, and responding to findings with corrective action.
SQFI expects Edition 10 audits to begin on January 2, 2027. The date is contingent on GFSI benchmarking, and SQFI says it will communicate any changes.
Audits before the Edition 10 implementation date use Edition 9, and audits on or after it use Edition 10.

See which edition applies.
Every site now needs a food safety culture assessment plan, change management is a dedicated requirement (2.3.5), environmental monitoring expectations are stronger, scoring now weights Core Clauses, and the Code is digital first. See what changes in Edition 10.
