We are proud to announce that Huisken Meat Company has received SQF 2000 Certification
by achieving a score of 100% in nine categories and 99% in the tenth category. These
scores, a rating of our food safety and quality certification programs, are considered
"excellent" and represent some of the highest scores ever awarded. Huisken Meat
Company is one of only seven Processors of Manufactured Meats and Poultry in the
country to have received this certification to date.
Managed by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), the SQF (Safe Quality Food) Program
is a leading, global food safety and quality certification program and management
system designed to meet the needs of buyers and suppliers worldwide. The program
provides independent certification that our food safety and quality management system
complies with international and domestic food safety regulations. This enables us
to ensure you that food has been produced, processed, prepared and handled according
to the highest possible standards.
Our SQF 2000 certification continues a long-standing Huisken Meat Company tradition
of commitment to quality, consistency, and exceptional taste. In addition to our
previous ISO 9001:2000 certification, we were the nation’s first company to electronically
irradiated product available to the grocery trade, and in 2006 we were recognized
for workplace safety and health by the Minnesota Safety and Health Achievement Recognition
Program (MNSHARP).
With over 70 years of experience in meat processing, Huisken Meat Company and our
state-of-the-art production process and superior packaging continues to produce
premium, quality beef patties for branded and private label use that are guaranteed
