Florida-based Tabañero Holdings Achieves SQF Certification

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Tabañero Holdings, a manufacturer of hot sauces, announced that its wholly-owned manufacturing facility in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., attained the Safe Quality Food (SQF) Certification. The Safe Quality Food (SQF) Program is a food safety and quality program that is recognized worldwide by retailers, brand owners, food service providers, and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

As part of the SQF process, Tabañero has implemented food safety management and tracing/tracking systems, regular internal and third-party facility audits and employee training programs. The company said these measures ensure the safety and integrity of their hot sauces and guarantee the company's compliance with global regulatory requirements and industry best practices. The accreditation reinforces the brand's promise to deliver products of excellent quality and taste, setting them apart in the fiercely competitive hot sauce market, said Tabañero.

"This certification is a testament to everyone who works at our Fort Lauderdale facility and their dedication to quality food manufacturing and our overriding commitment to customer satisfaction," said Danny Vitelli, Vice President of Manufacturing and R & D. "Whether you are buying Tabañero Hot Sauce at some of the world's largest retailers or eating wings at your favorite neighborhood bar, if Tabañero made the sauce, you are assured it was made to the highest quality and food safety standards."

"As one of the few SQF-certified manufacturing facilities in Florida that can do multi-day production runs down to single 50-gallon batches, we feel we are uniquely positioned to meet our customers' and consumers' needs without compromising quality," continued Vitelli.

Tabañero said it will continue investing in research, product innovation, and strict quality control measures to ensure its products consistently exceed consumer expectations. To learn more about Tabañero's array of sauces, condiments and custom blends, visit www.tabanero.com.
