Yuqiu Food Achieves Both ISO22000 and HACCP Certifications, Reinforcing the Lifeline of Food Safety

SHANGHAI YUQIU FOODS INC. a fully integrated food enterprise specializing in healthy puffed snacks, has successfully obtained both ISO22000 Food Safety Management System certification and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) certification, further solidifying its commitment to food safety as the company's lifeline.

The dual certifications mark a significant milestone for the company, which has been dedicated to popcorn research, development, and production for over 30 years. ISO22000 is an international standard for food safety management systems established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), providing a comprehensive framework for managing food safety across the entire food chain-. The standard integrates the principles of HACCP as a prerequisite program and a fundamental part of its requirements-, ensuring a systematic approach to identifying, preventing, and managing food safety hazards.

Yuqiu Food first obtained HACCP certification in 2014, becoming one of the first in the industry to achieve this recognition. The company subsequently earned ISO22000 certification in 2017, and has maintained and reinforced both certifications through continuous improvement and rigorous compliance. Acquiring certification under both systems demonstrates an unwavering commitment to food safety-, with ISO22000 further underscoring the organization's dedication to international best practices.

"Food safety is the lifeline of our business," said a company spokesperson. "These certifications are not just badges on our wall — they represent our daily commitment to every batch of product we ship. We execute internal control standards that far exceed national requirements, and every batch is tested and certified before leaving our facility."

Yuqiu Food's quality assurance system covers the entire value chain — from its own corn planting base located in the golden corn belt at 45°N latitude, through production and storage, to R&D, OEM/ODM services, and global sales. The company's American-style production processes, combined with Taiwanese management expertise, operate under a philosophy of scientific management, data-driven R&D, and quality-oriented production.

The company's food safety management system has enabled it to become a certified global supplier for internationally recognized brands, including Disney, NIO, HEYTEA, and leading infant food brands such as Little Blue Blue and Bosska. In March 2024, Yuqiu Food obtained export qualifications, further expanding its global footprint.

With both ISO22000 and HACCP certifications in place, Yuqiu Food is well-positioned to meet the stringent requirements of international markets. The certifications reduce the need for duplicate inspections during product market access approvals and export health registrations-, streamlining the company's ability to serve customers worldwide.

As Yuqiu Food continues to innovate — from its "medicine-food homology" Coix Seed Popcorn launched in 2023 to its grain puffed product series and collaborative with Bandai in 2024 — the company remains steadfast in its founding principle: delivering healthy, safe, and delicious food with ethics and conscience.
