Anderson House | Frontier Soups Achieves “Excellent” Rating on SQF Edition 9 Food Safety Audit

GURNEE, IL – July 14, 2026 – Anderson House, the proud manufacturer of Frontier Soups, announced today that its Gurnee, Illinois dry blending facility has achieved an “Excellent” rating on its Safe Quality Food (SQF) Edition 9 certification audit.

The SQF program is a rigorous and globally recognized food safety and quality certification administered by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI) and benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). Achieving an “Excellent” score—the highest rating tier possible—demonstrates a facility’s commitment to operating at the absolute highest standards of food safety, traceability, and quality control.

“Achieving an Excellent score on an SQF audit is a direct reflection of the hard work and dedication our entire team puts in every single day,” said Kris Scimeca, SQF Practitioner at Anderson House. “From our meticulous Approved Supplier Program to our rigorous sanitation protocols, we have built a culture where food safety is integrated into every step of our dry blending and packaging process. This score tells our customers and retail partners that they can trust the safety and quality of every pouch of Frontier Soups.”

To achieve this certification, Anderson House underwent a comprehensive, multi-day third-party audit of its facility. The audit thoroughly evaluated the company’s Food Safety Management Systems, including its Hazard Analysis, supply-chain preventive controls, allergen management, environmental monitoring, and product traceability.

Operating as a premier dry soup manufacturer, Anderson House relies on a highly vetted network of approved suppliers and robust internal quality prerequisite programs to ensure premium, safe ingredients go into every batch.

This latest SQF Edition 9 certification further solidifies Anderson House’s position as a trusted manufacturing partner and a reliable provider of high-quality, delicious soup mixes for families nationwide.
