SaltWorks achieves SQF Level 2 certification

Woodinville, Wash.-based SaltWorks Inc. said it successfully achieved Safe Quality Food (SQF) program Level 2 certification with the highest possible rating of Excellent. Certification followed an intensive multi-day audit, conducted by NSF International in the fall of 2015. The audit verified that SaltWorks’ commitment to safety and quality met the rigorous requirements of the SQF program and established that a strict food safety control process was successfully implemented at SaltWorks’ state-of-the-art custom-built salt processing facility located just outside of Seattle.

“We have always been committed to providing the highest quality and safest all-natural salts to our customers,” said Mark Zoske, CEO, SaltWorks. “We recognized that the SQF certification program demonstrates integrity and responsibility, which reflects our core company values and the sea salts that we produce. It underscores how effective our proprietary processes are and how hard our team works to ensure we meet those safety and quality goals every day.”

SaltWorks said it has in-house quality control and engineering teams that work diligently together to implement and improve rigorous safety processes, provide training to all staff members regardless of employment duties, and regularly develop technologies to ensure top quality and safety of all their products while preserving the artisanal craftsmanship and unique characteristics of each grain of salt. The SQF certification demonstrates the company's commitment to implementing and maintaining stringent safety controls.
