Blue Marble Biomaterials Receives Safe Quality Food Level 2 Certification

Blue Marble Biomaterials, a manufacturer of food-grade chemicals for the food and beverage ingredient market, has been certified by SCS Global Services (SCS) under the internationally recognized Safe Quality Food (SQF) standard.

“This certification confirms that Blue Marble Biomaterials has successfully implemented a HACCP-based Food Safety Plan and has management systems in place to validate the Food Safety Plan’s effectiveness,” said Heena Patel, SCS’ Technical Director, Supply Chain Food Safety Audit Services.

Blue Marble Biomaterials is certified to SQF Code Edition 7.2, Level 2.
