Read on to learn more about the standards we adhere to.

SQF Certified Commercial Bakery Contract Manufacturer

CraftMark Bakery was built from the ground up to not only meet but exceed the strict standards to become an SQF Certified commercial bakery. The Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program is a rigorous food safety and quality assurance program recognized world-wide. This excellent safety and quality certification delves into every link in the bakery supply chain, which helps bakery contract manufacturers like CraftMark assure customers that their bakery products meet the highest possible international food safety standards.

  • Separate, isolated production rooms for frozen dough and ready-to-eat bakery products

  • Dedicated QA labs for quick testing and real-time results

  • Centralized bakery supplier tracking system for documenting and tracing all ingredients back to the source

  • Plastic pallets in production rooms to eliminate wood contamination

FSMA Compliant Bakery

The FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a comprehensive set of requirements that CraftMark Bakery complies with.

The seven pillars of FSMA represent a preventive — as opposed to reactive — approach to the safety of the United States food supply. They cover everything from the vetting of foreign bakery ingredients suppliers to the assessment of food borne illness risks and documentation of prevention plans.

This program requires continuous monitoring and evaluation to ensure that established safety protocols are being carried out faithfully at all times.
