The Importance of SQF (Safe Quality Food) for Pinsa

At Pinsa Romana America, we are passionate about spreading the love of authentic Italian food across the U.S. But, we can’t do that without ensuring that all of our products are 100% SQF-certified. Because when you have a factory full of one-of-a-kind, hand-pressed pinsa crusts, it is of the utmost importance that the food is as safe as it is delicious.

 

How do we ensure that Pinsa Romana America is safe?

 

Pinsa Romana America is certified by the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program—a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked food safety standard based on Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). 

 

Simply put, all pinsa products made in our facility are safe to eat. 

 

Liz Reeb, our Quality Assurance Manager, has been in the food manufacturing industry for over 17 years. Having implemented SQF in three prior facilities before joining our team, Liz is our in-house expert on all things safety certifications, environmental monitoring, and appropriate labeling. Her role? To build, implement, and maintain food safety systems to ensure that our products are always safe for consumption. 

 

When it comes to hand-pressing, par-baking, and distributing our pinsa crusts, safety is our priority. Part of Liz’s job is to ensure that there are no pathogens in the facility environment that could possibly contaminate the food products. Properly-labeled allergen information, environmental monitoring, and safety certifications all drive our food-safety culture at Pinsa Romana America. Everyone in the pinsa family knows and understands that safety comes first. 

 

Pinsa Romana America is passionate about doing things the right way—the safe way. We are dedicated to the highest quality practices, as well as continuous improvement (one of the pinnacle aspects of SQF). 

 

So, why is SQF so important? The answer is simple. So we can continue to spread the love of pinsa—safely—to food-lovers all over the world.
