Racine Danish Kringles is proud to announce they have achieved SQF certification as of April 26, 2019. SQF is a comprehensive food safety and quality management system. In order to be certified, a company must build a food safety management system that includes all practices, programs, and physical facility requirements defined by the rigorous SQF Code.

Racine Danish Kringles is now held to the highest standard for food safety. The SQF Certification is benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and is recognized by retailers, brand owners and food service providers as one of the strictest standards in the industry. This certification will now allow Racine Danish Kringles to partner with other food companies who also recognize the critical importance of food safety.

“We are extremely proud of our employees who have worked so hard to achieve this goal. There was a great deal of preparation in order for us to be 100% confident during the difficult SQF audit process. Food safety has been an important part of our business since the 1980’s, and we are pleased to take safety to the highest level. We believe SQF Certification will only strengthen our reputation across the baking industry. Each Kringle that leaves our facility is made with such care by using the highest quality ingredients and made with the highest standards in food safety,” said Chris Heyer, CEO of Racine Danish Kringles.

Racine Danish Kringles was started over thirty-five years ago because we wanted to share our love of Kringle with the people of Wisconsin. It has been a staple in Racine, Wisconsin and grocery stores throughout the state for years. Today, Kringle is the official state pastry of Wisconsin, and is shipped across the nation. We’re proud of our Kringle—it’s all we do, and we want to share them with you, because with us… ”It’s Not Just a Treat, It’s a Tradition.”
