SQF Certified

What is SQF Certification?

SQF (Safe Quality Food) is a rigorous, internationally recognised food safety and quality management system. It's recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and trusted by retailers, food manufacturers, and food service providers worldwide.

Kondos holds SQF certification, which means our entire operation — from raw material receival through to milling, packaging, storage, and dispatch — has been independently audited and verified to meet the highest food safety standards. This certification is renewed through regular audits conducted by accredited third-party auditors.

For food manufacturers sourcing corn products from Kondos, our SQF certification provides confidence that your ingredients are produced in a facility that meets world-class food safety benchmarks. This can simplify your own compliance requirements and give your customers peace of mind.

Our Process

Quality Control at Every Stage

Quality isn't something we check at the end — it's built into every step of our process. From the moment grain arrives at our facility to when the finished product leaves our loading dock, quality is monitored and documented.

01

Grain Receival Testing

Every load of maize is tested upon arrival. We check moisture content, foreign matter, defective kernels, and overall grain quality before accepting any delivery.

02

In-Process Monitoring

During milling, we continuously monitor particle size distribution, moisture levels, and product consistency. Adjustments are made in real-time to maintain specifications.

03

Finished Product Testing

Every batch undergoes comprehensive testing before release. We verify particle size, moisture, colour, and that the product meets the customer's agreed specifications.

04

Documentation & Traceability

Full batch traceability from farmer to finished product. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every batch, providing complete transparency.

Food Safety

Our Food Safety Commitment

HACCP-Based Food Safety Plans

Our food safety management system is built on HACCP principles, identifying and controlling potential hazards at every critical control point in our process.

Allergen Management

Rigorous allergen management protocols ensure product integrity. Corn is naturally gluten-free, and we take every precaution to prevent cross-contamination.

Regular Audits

Our SQF certification requires regular third-party audits. We also conduct internal audits to continuously improve our food safety and quality systems.

Pest Management

Comprehensive integrated pest management program protects stored grain and finished products. Regular inspections and monitoring keep our facilities pest-free.

Staff Training

All team members receive ongoing food safety and hygiene training. Our people understand their role in maintaining the highest quality standards.

Continuous Improvement

We don't just maintain standards — we actively seek to improve them. Customer feedback, audit findings, and industry developments all drive our quality improvement program.
