Wholesale food sales is an enormous and highly regulated industry that requires attention to detail. Companies are held accountable for providing top-quality products. One of key components that many companies consider important when determining the credibility of a food supplier is a certification that is recognized globally. These certifications are essential for guaranteeing that the products on the market meet certain standards.

Food safety certifications including HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), ISO 22000, and the Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification demonstrate a company's dedication to producing items that meet quality requirements. HACCP assists businesses in identifying potential hazards that facilitates the identification of critical controls and mitigation strategies. On the other hand, ISO 22000 is a comprehensive framework for ensuring food safety management that ensures a company's food safety management system is aligned with international requirements. Lastly, SQF involves both quality standards and guidelines to ensure business success.

In addition to food safety certifications, certain industries have specific requirements for products that impact the environment or the production process. These certifications include organic certifications, Belzona 1111 non-GMO certifications, and animal welfare certifications like the Food Alliance and Blue Ocean Mariculture. Organic and non-GMO certifications ensure that products do not contain genetically modified organisms. At the same time, animal welfare certifications are essential for protecting animal rights.
